Zusammenfassung
This book provides a panoramic view from 1927-1938 of the development of a physical theory that has been on the cutting edge of theoretical physics ever since 1927: quantum electrodynamics. The Frame-Setting Essay and the published papers of Bohr, Dirac, Heisenberg and Pauli take us on a fascinating analysis into the meaning and structure of a scientific theory.
