What is the Planck length?

The Planck length is the natural length scale defined by fundamental constants, representing the scale at which quantum-gravitational effects become significant.

What does a.u. of length [a.u., b] represent?

The atomic unit of length corresponds to the Bohr radius, which is the average electron-proton separation in hydrogen's ground state and used in atomic physics.

Why convert between Planck length and atomic units?

This conversion links fundamental physics scales to atomic-scale systems, assisting researchers in bridging theoretical concepts with practical atomic or molecular models.
