One Hundred Years of Quantum Physics

Daniel Kleppner, R. Jackiw

This year marks the 100th anniversary of Max Planck's creation of the quantum concept, an idea so revolutionary that it took nearly 30 years for scientists to develop it into the theory that has transformed the way scientists view reality. In this month's essay, Daniel Kleppner and Roman Jackiw recount how quantum theory, which they rate as "the most precisely tested and most successful theory in the history of science," came to be, how it changed the world, and how it might continue to evolve to make the dream of ultimate understanding of the universe come true.

Niels Bohr: Physics and the World

Herman Feshbach, Tetsuo Matsui, Alexandra Oleson

Containing the proceedings of the symposium held by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Niels Bohr, this collection was first published in 1988. More than any other individual, Bohr was responsible for the development of quantum mechanics and for many of its applications in the pursuit of fundamental understanding of physical reality. In addition to his unique role in the discovery and elucidation of quantum theory, Bohr led the study of the fission of nuclei and was greatly concerned with the impact of the existence of the atomic bomb in the post-World War II era. This unique volume provides a panoramic view of modern physics, some of the philosophical issues associated with quantum theory, the impact of this momentous scientific development on the political circumstance of the Cold War Era and the qualities of a superlative scientist.

Thermodynamic and quantum thermodynamic answers to Einstein's concerns about Brownian movement

Elias P. Gyftopoulos

On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the revolutionary contributions to physics by Einstein, I am happy to respond to a problem posed by him in 1905. He said: In this paper it will be shown that according to the molecular-kinetic theory of heat, bodies of microscopically-visible size suspended in a liquid will perform movements of such magnitude that they can be easily observed in a microscope, on account of the molecular motions of heat....that is, Brownian molecular motion. In this article I provide incontrovertible evidence against molecular-kinetic conception of heat, and a regularization of the Brownian movement that differs from all the statistical procedures and/or analyses that exist in the archival literature to date. The regularization is based on either of two distinct but intimately interrelated revolutionary conceptions of thermodynamics, one is purely thermodynamic and the other is quantum mechanical.
