193637908Berlin: Springer 1936. Jordan Pascual 1902-80. Anschauliche Quantentheorie: Eine Einf¸hrung in die moderne Auffassung der Quantenerscheinungen. 8vo. xii 320pp. Berlin: J. Springer 1936. 231 x 155 mm. Blue cloth c. 1936 rebacked preserving orig. spine with leather label. Fine copy from the library of Nobel Laureate Emilio SegrË 1905-89 with his signature slightly trimmed on the title and occasional pencil notes. First Edition of this textbook on the "new" quantum theory by one of the founders of that science. Jordan made fundamental contributions to the creation of the new quantum mechanics particularly in the two-part paper "Zur Quantenmechanik" 1925 on which he collaborated with Max Born and William Heisenberg. In the first part "Zur Quantenmechanik I" Born and Jordan used the mathematics of matrix calculus to fashion Heisenberg's new theoretical matrix mechanics into a systematic theory of quantum mechanics; in the second part known as the "three-man paper" Born Heisenberg and Jordan extended the Born-Jordan formalism of the first paper to systems with many degrees of freedom numbers of particles. Jordan's application of this new formalism to the radiation field contained in the last section of "Zur Quantenmechanik II" served as the beginning of quantum field theory. This copy of Jordan's work is from the library of Emilio SegrË discoverer of the element technetium and recipient of a share of the 1959 Nobel Prize for his work on the antiproton. DSB. 37908.

1911317085Hamburg 19/11/71. 1 page 22 lines. 4to. Old folds. Fine. 1 page 22 lines. 4to. Solid if anodyne letter from the noted German scientist Pascual Jordan 1902-1980 remarking that his chief interest in recent years has been pure mathematics which "gives joy to no one who is not already a matehmatician"; Jordan also observes that his books are sold in the Soviet Union and that his work in the press Begegnungen could be sold in Yugoslavia without objection.<br/><br/>Jordan was a German physicist who made significant contributions to quantum mechanics and quantum field theory along with Heisenberg and Born. He contributed much to the mathematical form of matrix mechanics and developed canonical anticommutation relations for fermions. While the Jordan algebra is employed for and is still used in studying the mathematical and conceptual foundations of quantum theory it has found other mathematical applications.<br/>He would have won the Nobel Prize if he had not been a Nazi. unknown books

This paper contributed to the demonstration of the close connection between quantum fields and quantum statistics. It was known that second quantization guarantees that photons obey Bose-Einstein statistics; but what of other particles which obey Bose-Einstein statistics Jordan and Klein showed that second quantization is not confined to free particles only. One can quantize just as well the non-relativistic Shrodinger equation. "In honor of these contributions the matrices they introduced have been named Jordan-Klein matrices."
