In this chapter we discuss the basic principles of quantum mechanics that underlie optical spectroscopy. We consider wavefunctions, operators and expectation values, atomic and molecular orbitals, harmonic and Morse oscillators, spin wavefunctions for singlet and triplet states, time-dependent perturbation theory, and the dynamics of transitions between states.
