Excerpt from The Quantum Theory of Fields
Indeed the introduction of the photon concept meant a revival Of the old dilemma from Newton's and Huygens' days of the corpuscular or undulatory constitution of light, which had seemed resolved in favour Of the latter by the establishment of the electromagnetic theory of radiation. The situation was most peculiar since the very definition of the energy or momentum of the photon, given by the product of Planck's constant and the frequency or wave number of the radiation, directly refers to the characteristics of a wave picture. We were thus confronted with a novel kind of complementary relationship between the applications Of different fundamental concepts Of classical physics, the study of which in the course of time was to make the limited scope of deterministic description evident and to call for an essentially statistical account of even the most elementary atomic processes.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. Embark on a captivating journey through the evolution of quantum physics, spanning five decades of groundbreaking discoveries and transformative ideas. This book delves into the renowned Solvay Conferences, where the brightest minds in physics, including Bohr, Einstein, and Heisenberg, convened to grapple with the profound implications of quantum theory. The author expertly contextualizes the pivotal moments that shaped our understanding of the atomic worldââ âfrom Planck's revolutionary quantum of action to the advent of wave mechanics and the enigmatic nature of elementary particles. Delve into the intellectual battles and collaborative breakthroughs that redefined the boundaries of physics, exploring themes of wave-particle duality, complementarity, and the limitations of determinism. This historical account offers a profound exploration of the conceptual challenges and philosophical implications of quantum physics. It reveals how these radical ideas challenged classical notions of reality, causality, and the very nature of observation. Gain a deeper appreciation for the profound impact of quantum theory on our understanding of the universe and its fundamental building blocks. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
