Summary |
The 1927 Solvay conference was very important meeting in the history of quantum theory, but no consensus was reached. This book contains a complete translation of the original proceedings, with background essays on the three main interpretations of quantum theory presented at the conference |
Notes |
Includes, on p. 251-469, an English translation of the Conference's proceedings, which were published in French in 1928 under the title Électrons et photons |
Bibliography |
