19261276Berlin: Julius Springer 1926. 1st Edition. Soft cover. Very Good. FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL WRAPPERS of the famous "three-man paper" the first complete self-consistent description of quantum mechanics. "In 1925 after an extended visit to Bohr's Institute of Theoretical Physics at the University of Copenhagen Heisenberg tackled the problem of spectrum intensities of the electron taken as an anharmonic oscillator a one-dimensional vibrating system. His position that the theory should be based only on observable quantities was central to his paper of July 1925 "Über quantentheoretische Umdeutung kinematischer und mechanischer Beziehungen" "Quantum-Theoretical Reinterpretation of Kinematic and Mechanical Relations". Heisenberg's formalism rested upon noncommutative multiplication; Born together with his new assistant Pascual Jordan realized that this could be expressed using matrix algebra which they used in a paper submitted for publication in September as "Zur Quantenmechanik" "On Quantum Mechanics". By November Born Heisenberg and Jordan had completed "Zur Quantenmechanik II" "On Quantum Mechanics II" colloquially known as the "three-man paper" which is regarded as the foundational document of a new quantum mechanics" Britannica's Guide to the Nobel Prizes.

19272348Berlin: Julius Springer 1927. First edition. Original wrappers. Fine. FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL WRAPPERS of Jordan and Klein's introduction of the "second quantization"; one of the founding papers of quantum field theory. FROM THE LIBRARY OF NIELS BOHR with his stamp on the front wrapper. In Jordan's "paper with Klein written while the two of them were in Copenhagen in the spring of 1927 a generalization of Dirac's treatment of bosons was given to allow for the interaction of the bosons with one another. Their point of departure was a Schrödinger equation for the field operator containing a nonlinear term to account for the interaction of the field itself. "The equivalence of this description with that using symmetric wave functions in configuration space was established. The 'particles' that emerged from the imposition of the quantum condition commutation rules on the field variables thus obeyed Bose statistics. Heisenberg found the results of Jordan and Klein very attractive. In his interview with Kuhn and Heilbron in 1963 he recalled: 'I liked it very much because now I could see "All right. There is an entirely different picture to start with the wave picture and if I quantize that picture--that is if I make this picture open to the same restriction as the particle picture--then the two pictures become equivalent." That is exactly what I wanted' Heisenberg 1963 session 8 p. 21. "Bohr at the Solvay meeting of 1927 saw Jordan and Klein's work as supporting his views of complementarity. Pauli at that same congress welcomed the formulation since it allowed to formulate the quantum theoretic description of an assembly of bosons entirely in 3-dimensional space. "In a letter to Kronig in November 1927 Pauli described the work of Jordan and Klein as 'wirklich schön' really beautiful. In fact the Jordan and Klein paper converted Pauli to the Jordan viewpoint about the quantization of matter fields. The article by Jordan and Klein made clear to both Heisenberg and Pauli who were then collaborating on a general theory of relativistic quantized fields how to proceed in describing the interaction between the electromagnetic field and charges. Pauli who up to that time had been reluctant to accept Jordan's views on quantization of matter fields embraced Jordan's viewpoint. After the publication of the Jordan-Klein article Pauli and Heisenberg agreed that the quantization of matter fields was the correct approach. In December 1927 Heisenberg could write Bohr that the important work of Jordan and Klein had been the stimulus of his thinking long and hard on the formulation of relativistic quantum mechanics and that he and Pauli were making good progress" Schweber QED and the Men Who Made It: Dyson Feynman Schwinger and Tomonaga pp.35-37.
