I get the sense as I read up on quantum mechanics that only a handful of toy wavefunctions can be solved analytically, and that even when you can solve for a system of wavefunctions numerically, this will only be useful in relatively simple systems. I get the distinct sense that QM is most useful for post hoc explanations. Perhaps this is a mistaken impression. Eric
