First editions of all three papers, which together constitute Born's main contributions to Quantum Mechanics, for which he received the Nobel Prize in physics in 1954. In his famous series of papers on wave mechanics Schrödinger stated his equation describing the behavior of the wave function. However, Schrödinger did not himself arrive at a proper physical interpretation of the wave function itself - this is due to Born. Just a few days after Schrödinger's fourth and final paper was published, Born successfully interpreted the wave function as probability amplitude. His relatively brief paper (the first offered here) was originally meant to be published in the weekly magazine ""Die Naturwissenschaften"" but due to lack of space in this journal it was forwarded to the 'Zeitschrift'. The next paper offered, with the same title, is an elaboration of the first. In the third paper Born used the adiabatic principle to further support his statistical interpretation of quantum mechanics.

First edition of these landmark papers in which Born formulated the now-standard interpretation of the Probability Interpretation of the Wave Function or Probability Density Function for psi*psi in the Schrödinger equation, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1954. It is considered to be one of the fundamental statements of modern physics and made Einstein famously state in a letter to Born in 1926: ""Quantum mechanics is certainly imposing. But an inner voice tells me that it is not yet the real thing. The theory says a lot, but does not really bring us any closer to the secret of the 'old one'. I, at any rate, am convinced that He [god] is not playing at dice.""""Very soon after publication of Erwin Schrödinger's works on wave mechanics. Born recognized -despite Heisenherg's and Pauli's objections to its basic conceptions - that the new theory was acceptable from a mathematical point of view" and he used Schrödinger's method of treating atomic scattering processes. Applied to a standard scattering problem with known interaction-the scattering of a particle in an external field -the quantum theory permitted an exact calculation only in principle" except in special cases the basic differential equations could not be solved. With ""Quantenme-chanik der Stossvorgänge"" (1926) Born elaborated the basis of the ""Born approximation method"" for carrying out the actual computations"" the method has since grown steadily in importance. Born’s works found worldwide recognition, and gifted young researchers flocked to work under him. The ""Born school"" at Göttingen was its important to the flowering of theoretical physics as the school of Bohr at Copenhagen and of Arnold Sommerfeld at Munich."" (DSB).""Born may not have realized at once the profundity of his contribution, which helped bring the quantum revolution to an end"". (Pais, Inward Bound).

Embossed stamp to title page and library label pasted on to pasted down front free end-paper, otherwise fine. Pp. 165-80. [Entire volume: VII, (1) 903 pp].
First appearance of Born and Fock's important paper in which they introduced their adiabatic theorem, a concept in quantum mechanics which they stated as follows: "" A physical system remains in its instantaneous eigenstate if a given perturbation is acting on it slowly enough and if there is a gap between the eigenvalue and the rest of the Hamiltonian's spectrum."" (From the present paper). The concept of this theorem deals with the time-dependent Hamiltonian - a subject of Quantum dynamics - where the Hamiltonian changes with time.The present issue also contain Gamow's ""Zur Quantentheorie des Atomkernes"" containing the first direct calculation of the Geiger-Nuttall law.

(PMM N° 203) ---- "Boscovitch's most important work, in which he developed his theory of "points" which are the first elements of all matter". (Honneyman N° 427 1st ed. 1758) ---- "Philosophiae naturalis theoria is now recognized as having exerted a fundamental influence on modern mathematical physics... Boscovich's theories are concerned in the first place with the constitution of matter, the behaviour of physical forces and the nature of atoms and of light. Lucretius's theory conceived of atoms as hard particles in continual motion in a void, influencing each other by impact... Newton was an atomist, with a clear notion of inter-atomic forces. Boscovich's views are different and come nearer certain ideas of modern physics. As the tile of his book implies, he considered that a single law was the basis of all natural phenomena and of the properties of matter ; that the multiplicity of physical forces was only apparent and due to inadequate mathematical knowledge. These "point-atoms" of Boscovisch were deemed to have a position - but no extension - in space, and to possess mass. Boscovich believed that each atom is surrounded by a field of force, alternately positive and negative through a number of cycles. The force exists whether there is at any point another atom for it to act upon, or not. Newton (and every other atomist) could not believe in the continuity of matter. The Theoria had an immediate success in scientific circles. Priestley read it. Boskovic's theory influzenced the position of nineteenth-century field physics with regard to the relations between space and matter ; it was employed by Faraday and Kelvin, and J.J. Thomson used its curve of forces to introduce the earliest concepts of atomic physics". (PMM N° 203 & Norman N° 277 1758 ed.**ARB3

First appearance of Bose's seminal paper in which he succeeded in deriving the Planck blackbody radiation law without reference to classical electrodynamics. Einstein was extremely impressed by Bose's paper and translated it into German himself. Shortly after Einstein made a generalization of Bose's method which led to the first of two systems of quantum statistical mechanics, known as the Bose-Einstein statistics. Paul Dirac coined the term ""boson"" for particles that obey these statistics and later physics historian Abraham Dirac described it as a ""confused masterpiece"", (Pais, Inward Bound, P. 283). ""With their work Bose and Einstein established the field of quantum statistics one year before the appearance of quantum mechanics"" (Brandt, The Harvest of a Century, P. 139).""In July 1924 he sent a short manuscript entitled ""Plancks Gesetz und Lichtquantenhypothese"" to Albert Einstein for criticism and possible publication. Einstein himself translated the paper into German and had it published in the Zeitschrift für Physik later that year. He added a note that stated: ""In my opinion Boses derivation of the Planck formula signifies an important advance. The method used also yields the quantum theory of the ideal gas as I will work out in detail elsewhere."" (DSB).""2 July 1924.
