[++] "Born and his assistant, Pascual Jordan, quickly developed the mathematical content of Heisenberg s work into a consistent theory with the help of abstract matrix algebra. Their work, in collaboration with Heisenberg, culminated in their three-man paper [the paper offered here] that served as the foundation of matrix mechanics. Confident of the correctness of the new theory, Heisenberg, Pauli, Born, Dirac, and others began applying the difficult mathematical formalism to the solution of lingering problems. But most physicists soon welcomed a rival theory propounded by Erwin Schrödinger in 1926. Schrödinger offered a quantum wave mechanics that purported to replace electron orbits, banish quantum jumps, and require only the familiar methods of partial differential equations. His recognition of the mathematical equivalence of the rival theories and his claim that his theory superseded matrix mechanics caused a flurry of activity among the matrix mechanicians."--Complete DSB online, (Heisenberg). [++] "The 1925 paper On quantum mechanics by M. Born and P. Jordan, and the sequel On quantum mechanics II by M. Born, W. Heisenberg, and P. Jordan, developed Heisenberg s pioneering theory into the first complete formulation of quantum mechanics." noted in the paper by William A. Fedaka and Jeffrey J. Prentis in their work on the 1925 paper, "The 1925 Born and Jordan paper On quantum mechanics in American Journal of Physics 77, 128, 2009. [++] [The paper offered here] often referred to as the three-man paper, extended Zur Quantenmechanik [Max Born and Pascual Jordan 1925] to an arbitrary number of degrees of freedom, and is now called the first complete statement of matrix mechanics and the foundational document of a new quantum mechanics. --David Wenner, in "History of Physics, the Wenner Collection.".

Add to basketoriginal wrappers. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL WRAPPERS of the famous "three-man paper," the first, complete, self-consistent description of quantum mechanics. "In 1925, after an extended visit to Bohr's Institute of Theoretical Physics at the University of Copenhagen, Heisenberg tackled the prob…lem of spectrum intensities of the electron taken as an anharmonic oscillator (a one-dimensional vibrating system). His position that the theory should be based only on observable quantities was central to his paper of July 1925, "Über quantentheoretische Umdeutung kinematischer und mechanischer Beziehungen" ("Quantum-Theoretical Reinterpretation of Kinematic and Mechanical Relations"). Heisenberg's formalism rested upon noncommutative multiplication; Born, together with his new assistant Pascual Jordan, realized that this could be expressed using matrix algebra, which they used in a paper submitted for publication in September as "Zur Quantenmechanik" ("On Quantum Mechanics"). By November, Born, Heisenberg, and Jordan had completed "Zur Quantenmechanik II" ("On Quantum Mechanics II"), colloquially known as the "three-man paper," which is regarded as the foundational document of a new quantum mechanics" (Britannica's Guide to the Nobel Prizes). Particle Physics: One Hundred Years of Discoveries: "Development of matrix formalism for the Heisenberg quantum mechanics. Systems with arbitrary many degrees of freedom."

Add to basketFirst edition. The Birth of Modern Quantum Mechanics. First edition, extremely rare offprints, of Born and Jordan's explication of Heisenberg's quantum mechanics - in their joint paper On Quantum Mechanics, which introduced matrix mechanics to the world - and the more detailed sequel with Heisenberg himself, the famous "three-ma…n paper," which was the first comprehensive exposition of quantum mechanics in matrix language. Quantum mechanics first emerged in Heisenberg's 'Uber quantentheoretische Umdeutung kinematischer und mechanischer Beziehungen' ['Quantum-theoretical reinterpretation of kinematic and mechanical relations'], published on 18 September 1925. In that paper, "Heisenberg (1901-76) points out that on the atomic level the orbits of electrons and their period of revolution are not measurable but that theory should be based only on quantities that can, at least in principle, be experimentally observed. He went on to replace the usual position x of a point-like particle by an 'ensemble of quantities' xmn and proposed a rule for the multiplication of such ensembles . After Pauli's approval Heisenberg gave the paper to Born (1882-1970). He asked him to study it and, in case he agreed, to forward it to a journal for publication . Only some days later Born studied the paper. He was impressed, sent the paper off for publication and began to think about more formal aspects of Heisenberg's approach. The multiplication rule Heisenberg had used for his ensembles seemed vaguely familiar to him and then he realized that this was the rule of matrix multiplication. The ensembles could be taken as matrices which were well studied by mathematicians. It was well known that, in general, matrix multiplication is not commutative, i.e., the result of a product depends on the order in which the factors are written. For the matrices x of position and p of momentum, this means that the elements of the matrix px are not necessarily equal to those of the matrix xp. Born conjectured that the commutator px ? xp was equal to (h/i) times the unit matrix 1 although he could show that property only for the diagonal elements of the commutator. For the general proof he asked the help of Jordan (1902-80) who found it within two days . Born and Jordan began to work out quantum mechanics in matrix notation on the basis of Heisenberg's ideas. Born . left the actual writing of their paper On Quantum Mechanics to Jordan. Heisenberg, Jordan, and Born now began a collaboration - mostly by correspondence - in which they worked out a comprehensive exposition of quantum mechanics. Their publication, On Quantum Mechanics II, is usually referred to as the 'three-men paper' (Drei-Männer-Arbeit). It contains the fundamental assumptions of the theory, i.e., the reinterpretation of physical quantities as matrices with their special multiplication laws or 'commutation relations', and Hamilton's equations written down for these quantities . Moreover, it presents a systematic way for the solution of these equations, and there is a discussion of perturbation theory and of several examples. The three men were together in Göttingen for only about two weeks before Born, who had written the mathematical part, departed for the United States and left the final editing to Heisenberg and Jordan, both twenty-three years old at the time. The paper was completed in mid-November. Its last section carries the title 'Coupled Harmonic Oscillators. Statistics of Wave Fields'. It was written by Jordan alone and practically no notice was taken of it at that time. Now it is recognized as the first description of the electromagnetic field in terms of quantum mechanics and thus as the very first step towards quantum electrodynamics" (Brandt, pp. 155-157). RBH lists only the Plotnick copies (Christie's NY, 2002). "Even those intimately familiar with matrix mechanics as we now understand it will find Heisenberg's 1925 paper daunting. But happily this obscurity is much less true of the article by Born and Jordan that followed Heisenberg's by about two months in the next volume of Zeitschrift für Physik and largely reformulated his theory in terms of matrix operations. "It happened that while (or shortly after) reading Heisenberg's manuscript before it was submitted for publication in July of 1925, Born quickly realized that the noncommutativity that Heisenberg had discovered could be interpreted as matrices, which in general do not commute. After Pauli declined, Born was able to induce his 23-year-old assistant Pascual Jordan, who had studied with the mathematician Courant, to help him with the mathematics of the theory. They immediately began their very lucid reformulation of Heisenberg's paper, which they worked up in those two months, opening with an introduction to the properties of matrices, including their noncommutativity, and adopting Heisenberg's assumption from the correspondence principle that Hamilton's equations of motion apply in the quantum theory a well as classically. In short order they discovered the operator, or matrix expression xp - px = (h/2pi)I. With the Hamiltonian in hand, they could obtain an expression for the time dependence of an operator, and using Hamilton's laws of motion, treat a problem like the harmonic oscillator. Application was made to the one-dimensional oscillator, from which the now familiar result E = (n + ½)hw was obtained, and the simple rotor was treated as well. The paper is a tour de force, succinct, and clear. It is not at all hard to see why Born always felt that he (and Jordan) should have been given something like equal credit for the discovery of matrix mechanics, which was never the case. The details of the paper, which hinted at the role of Hermitian bilinear or quadratic forms in representing observables (though the specific language of Hermitian operators on a Hilbert space was not yet used), were mostly the work of Jordan . "The third paper, this one by all three, Born, Heisenberg, and Jordan (BHJ), . submitted ei.

Contact seller5-star seller1st Edition. Bound FIRST EDITION OF BORN, HEISENBERG, & JORDAN'S "MONUMENTAL" THREE-MAN PAPER, 'ON QUANTUM MECHANICS II', THE FIRST COMPLETE STATEMENT OF MATRIX MECHANICS (Peacock, Quantum Revolution, 52). Handsomely rebound. See details below. In this work, Born, Heisenberg, and Jordan extend the methods Heisenberg presented in… his initial 1925 paper and apply them to a number of important problems. "This paper definitively set forth [and first named] matrix mechanics - the version of quantum mechanics based on the algebraic manipulation of matrices that represent observable quantities such as position, momentum, and energy. Detailed calculations showed that the new matrix mechanics was very successful in predicting the anomalous Zeeman Effect, other forms of line splitting, and line intensities. The three authors even produced a new derivation of Planck's Law" (ibid). In the early 1920s there were fundamental difficulties in atomic physics. The quantum theory of atomic structure, founded by Bohr and largely developed by Bohr and Sommerfeld, did not describe the properties of complicated atoms and molecules. "In spite of its high-sounding name and its successful solutions of numerous problems in atomic physics, 'quantum theory', and especially the 'quantum theory' of polyelectronic systems, prior to 1925, was, from the methodological point of view, a lamentable hodgepodge of hypotheses, principles, theorems, and computational recipes rather than a logical consistent theory. Every single quantum-theoretic problem had to be solved first in terms of classical physics; its classical solution had then to pass through the mysterious sieve of the quantum conditions or, as it happened in the majority of cases, the classical solution had to be translated into the language of quanta in conformance with the correspondence principle? In short, quantum theory still lacked two essential characteristics of a full-fledged scientific theory, conceptual autonomy and logical consistency" (Jammer, The Conceptual Development, 196). The work of Heisenberg, Born, and Jordan rectified these issues and marked the "starting point for the new quantum mechanics," also called matrix mechanics (DSB). Heisenberg published his initial paper formulating his new quantum theory in 1925, but without reference to matrices. "Later the same year, Max Born and Pascual Jordan published a second paper that introduced the matrix formulation for the special case of one degree of freedom" (History of Physics: The Wenner Collection). Finally, in early 1926, all three scientists collaborated on a third paper, this 'three-man paper', and extended the theory to an arbitrary number of degrees of freedom. In its final form, they argued, Heisenberg's formulation of the new quantum theory is a matrix algebra of quantum operators that "predicts the radiation resulting from electron state transitions between energy shells in the atom without reference to how the transitions occur" (ibid).
