By tracing Bohr’s work from his 1913 atomic theory to the introduction and then refinement of the idea of complementarity, and by explicating different meanings of “complementarity” in Bohr and the relationships between it and Bohr’s other concepts, the book aims to offer a contained and accessible, and yet sufficiently comprehensive account of Bohr’s work on complementarity and its significance.SpringerBriefs in Physics,2191-5423Quantum physicsPhilosophy and sciencePhysicsQuantum field theoryString theoryQuantum Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080Philosophy of Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E34000History and Philosophical Foundations of Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P29000Quantum Field Theories, String Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19048Quantum physics.Philosophy and science.Physics.Quantum field theory.String theory.Quantum Physics.Philosophy of Science.History and Philosophical Foundations of Physics.Quantum Field Theories, String Theory.530.12Plotnitsky Arkadyauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut814131BOOK9910812111603321Niels Bohr and Complementarity4116564UNINA
