Traditions and transformations in the history of quantum physics : : HQ-3, Third International Conference on the History of Quantum Physics, Berlin, June 28-July 2, 2010 / / Shaul Katzir, Christoph Lehner, Jürgen Renn (editors).
More than a century after the beginning of the quantum revolution, historians continue to explore new facets in the history of quantum physics, and to re-examine some of its better-known aspects. The thirteen papers collected in this volume, by authors from five continents, present central trends in...
