How did this come about and why is it that Göttingen became the pre-eminent location for a revolution in physics? This book is the first to investigate the wide range of factors that were pivotal for quantum physics to be established in Göttingen. These include the process of generational change of physics professors, the hopes of mathematicians seeking new fields of research, and a new understanding of the interplay of experiment, theory and philosophy.SpringerBriefs in History of Science and Technology,2211-4564PhysicsQuantum physicsHistoryHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P29000Quantum Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080History of Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000Physics.Quantum physics.History.History and Philosophical Foundations of Physics.Quantum Physics.History of Science.530.12530.12072Schirrmacher Arneauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut837086BOOK9910337877503321Establishing Quantum Physics in Göttingen2537593UNINA
