Quantum Theory

by Max Planck, Neils Bohr ...

Translated by Ludwik Silberstein, Hans Thacher Clarke ...

Quantum theory and quantum mechanics arose gradually from theories to explain observations that could not be reconciled with classical physics, such as Max Planck's solution in 1900 to the black-body radiation problem, and the correspondence between energy and frequency in Albert Einstein's 1905 paper, which explained the photoelectric effect. These early attempts to understand microscopic ... Read more
