- Abstract: In Part I we constructed the Quantum Mechanics of a charged unitary entity and prescribed the form in which such a particle interacts with other charged particles and matter in general. In this second part we extend the description to the hydrogen atom testing the correctness and accuracy of the general description. The relation between electron and proton in the atom is described systematically in a construction that is free from analogies or ad-hoc derivations and it supersedes conventional Quantum Mechanics (whose equations linked to measurements can be recovered). We briefly discuss why the concept of isolation built in Schr\"odinger's time evolution is not acceptable and how it immediately results in the well known measurement paradoxes of quantum mechanics. We also discuss the epistemic grounds of the development as well as those of conventional Quantum Mechanics.

Isolated atoms as well as molecules at equilibrium are presumed to be simple from the point of view of quantum computational complexity.
We show that the process of chemical bond formation is accompanied by a marked increase in the quantum complexity of the electronic ground state.

The construction is inspired by de Broglie's and Schr"odinger's wave mechanics while the unifying principle is Hamilton's principle of least action.

Locality holds for the quantum theory, and seems to be fully obeyed also by the classical treatment.
We do discuss extensively the distinction between the quantum treatment and the classical one, even though they produce exactly the same equations mathematically.
It is suggested to apply this theory for real time quantum model simulations.

The superposition principle is one of the most fundamental principles of quantum mechanics.

We show control over the size and phase of the superposition and investigate the decoherence dynamics of these states.

In the literature of calculating atomic and molecular structures, most Schrodinger equations are described by Coulomb potential.
In fact, the calculation accuracy of these Schrodinger equations is not consistent with Lamb shift.
In the traditional ab initio calculation of quantum mechanics, it is common and necessary to use Dirac theory or quantum electrodynamics to correct the energy level of Schrodinger equation.

Schr"odinger's idea that the nucleus of an atom is surrounded by a spread-out electron charge density is supported by a variety of evidence from quantum chemistry.
Taking this evidence as a clue to the foundations of quantum physics, Schr"odinger's electron charge density can be incorporated into many different interpretations of quantum mechanics.

Two particles are identical if all their intrinsic properties, such as spin and charge, are the same.
Quantum mechanics is seen as a normative and algorithmic theory guiding an agent to assess her subjective beliefs represented as (coherent) sets of gambles.
We show how sets of exchangeable observables (gambles) may be updated after a measurement and discuss the issue of defining entanglement for indistinguishable particle systems.

It is argued that the Schr"odinger equation does not yield a correct description of the quantum-mechanical time evolution of states of isolated (open) systems featuring events.
A precise general law for the time evolution of states replacing the Schr"odinger equation is formulated within the so-called ETH-Approach to Quantum Mechanics.
