Establishing Quantum Physics in Göttingen de Arne Schirrmacher

Establishing Quantum Physics in Göttingen: SpringerBriefs in History of Science and Technology

Autor Arne Schirrmacher
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 aug 2019
Quantum mechanics – the grandiose theory that describes nature down to the submicroscopic level – was first formulated in Göttingen in 1925. How did this come about and why is it that Göttingen 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 Göttingen. 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).

Recenzii

“The new view about the beginnings of quantum mechanics and the rich collection of documents make it worthwhile to study this book.” (Rita Meyer-Spasche, Isis, Vol. 112 (3), September, 2021)

Notă biografică

After earning a PhD in theoretical physics, Arne Schirrmacher specialized in the history of science, in particular the history of modern physics, popular science and science museums. He was a researcher at the Deutsches Museum in Munich for many years and now works as a Heisenberg Fellow at the Humboldt University in Berlin.
 

Caracteristici

Sheds new light on the emergence of Göttingen as the Mecca of physics in the 1920s Offers a contextual perspective on quantum mechanics complementing purely conceptual narratives Shows how a history of resources and research politics enriches the history of science in general
