From the Bohr model to Heisenberg’s quantum mechanics

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

The development of quantum mechanics is inseparably connected with Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg. We review the period during which the Bohr model was developed, reached its limits, and was finally replaced by Heisenberg’s quantum mechanics. We show how the theory was obtained by a team of brilliant scientists. In this lecture we bring together historical aspects and mathematical details.
