Quantum mechanics - the grandiose theory that describes nature down
to the submicroscopic level - was first formulated in Goettingen in
1925. How did this come about and why is it that Goettingen became
the pre-eminent location for a revolution in physics? This book is
the first to investigate the wide range of factors that were
pivotal for quantum physics to be established in Goettingen. These
include the process of generational change of physics professors,
the hopes of mathematicians seeking new fields of research, and a
new understanding of the interplay of experiment, theory and
philosophy. The other books in the four-volume collection address
the beginnings of quantum physics research at Copenhagen, Berlin,
and Munich. These works emerged from an expansive study on the
quantum revolution as a major transformation of physical knowledge
undertaken by the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science
and the Fritz Haber Institute (2006-2012). For more on this
project, see the dedicated Feature Story, The Networks of Early
Quantum Theory, at the Max Planck Institute for the History of
