Title Establishing Quantum Physics in G??ttingen : David Hilbert, Max Born, and Peter Debye in Context, 1900-1926 Author(s) Schirrmacher, Arne Publication Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2019. Description IX, 120 p. 8 illus : online resource Abstract Note Quantum mechanics ??? the grandiose theory that describes nature down to the submicroscopic level ??? was first formulated in G??ttingen in 1925. How did this come about and why is it that G??ttingen became the pre-eminent location for a revolution in physics? This book is the first to investigate the wide range of factors that were pivotal for quantum physics to be established in G??ttingen. These include the process of generational change of physics professors, the hopes of mathematicians seeking new fields of research, and a new understanding of the interplay of experiment, theory and philosophy. The other books in the four-volume collection address the beginnings of quantum physics research at Copenhagen, Berlin, and Munich. These works emerged from an expansive study on the quantum revolution as a major transformation of physical knowledge undertaken by the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science and the Fritz Haber Institute (2006???2012).
