Particular attention is paid to J.J. Thomson's atomic modeling and experiments at the Cavendish Laboratory, Max Planck's struggle to explain the experimental results of Heinrich Rubens and Ferdinand Kurlbaum, as well as the path leading from Louis de Broglie’s ideas to the wave theory of Erwin Schrödinger. Combining his experience in teaching quantum mechanics with his interest in the historical roots of the subject, the author has created a valuable resource for understanding quantum physics through its history, and a book that is appreciated both by working physicists and historians.History of Physics,2730-7549Quantum theoryHistoryQuantum theoryHistory.530.1209Helrich Carl S.749354MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996466729103316The quantum theory-- origins and ideas2834026UNISA
