New Foundations of Quantum Mechanics

Klappentext Originally published in 1965, the aim of this book was to challenge the dualistic view of physics. Zusammenfassung Originally published in 1965! the aim of this book was to challenge the dualistic view of physics! that is! the assumption that beams of electrons consist of discrete particles and of waves. Lande argues that this dualistic view is unnecessary! not only on methodological grounds but also from the standpoint of physics. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; 1. Dualism versus quantum mechanics; 2.
