Description

Constructing Quantum Mechanics is the first of two volumes on the genesis of quantum mechanics.

This volume traces the early contributions by Planck, Einstein, and Bohr, all showing the need for drastic changes to the physics of their day.

It examines the efforts by Sommerfeld and others to develop a new theory, now known as the old quantum theory.

After some striking successes, this theory ran into serious difficulties and ended up serving as the scaffoldon which the arch of modern quantum mechanics was built. This volume breaks new ground, both in its treatment of the work of Sommerfeld and his associates, and by offering new perspectives on classic papers by Planck, Einstein, Bohr, and others.

Paying close attention to both primary and secondary sources, Constructing Quantum Mechanics provides an in-depth analysis of the heroic struggle to come to terms with the wealth of mostly spectroscopic data that eventually gave us modern quantum mechanics.
