The modern theory of quantum mechanics was introduced by Heisenberg in a paper in the Zeits. F. Phys. vol. 33, p. 879 (1925). The following dissertation is a development of this theory from a slightly different point of view from that of Heisenberg's paper. The theory has been developed independently from Heisenberg's original point of view by Born and Jordan (Zeits. F. Phys. vol. 34, p. 858, 1925); Born, Heisenberg and Jordan (Zeits. F. Phys. vol. 35, p. 557, 1926) and Pauli (Zeits. F. Phys. vol. 36, p. 336, 1926). The general quantum conditions have been obtained independently by Born, Heisenberg and Jordan, by Kramers (Physica v. 5, p. 369, 1925) and by the present author. The frequencies of the Balmer lines of hydrogen have been obtained independently by Pauli and the present author.

Aspects of quantum theory ( Book )
6 editions published between 1972 and 2010 in English and held by 543 libraries worldwide
The twelve articles in this volume discuss various aspects of quantum mechanics which owe their origin to the work fo P.A.M. Dirac. Each of the distinguished contributors reviews Dirac's work and discusses its development in some detail. Since Dirac's work ranged widely, the resulting volume constitutes a valable survey of the state of quantum mechanics. A small part of the book contains personal reminiscences of Dirac in Cambridge and of his early visits to the U.S.A. and gives a historical account of the development of quantum mechanics during the decade 1924-1933, termed the "golden age of theoretical physics"
