商品描述

This book provides a historical presentation of Old Quantum Theory and
early Quantum Mechanics integrated with comments and examples that help
contextualize and understand the physics discussed.

It consists in a detailed analysis of the usual topics that have most
contributed to the birth and the development of Quantum Mechanics
(black-body spectrum, atomic models, EPR paradox, etc.), but also dealing
with ideas, concepts and results that are not usually treated (vortex
atoms, discussion on the meaning of the term "electron", non-quantum
models of the Compton effect, etc.). The time span taken into
consideration goes mainly from the 1880s to the 1940s; but some brief
notes on more recent results are also presented in the appendixes.

The work is based on nearly 800 original documents - books, papers, letters,
newspapers - whose content is not only partially reported, but also
explained, and inserted in the historical, social and disciplinary context
of the time. Together with a rigorous historical framework, the book
offers also an educational discussion of the physical aspects presented.
Indeed, there are some specific sections and subsections with pedagogical
observations.

This book is intended for students pursuing STEM degrees, particularly
those seeking an understanding of the genesis and rationale behind quantum
mechanics. But it is surely also addressed to professional physicists who
are eager to reconsider the cultural foundations underlying the quantum
view of the world. We are thus thinking of inquiring minds, people who
teach quantum physics, and individuals involved in quantum technologies.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書提供了舊量子理論和早期量子力學的歷史介紹,並結合評論和例子,幫助將物理學討論的內容置於上下文中並理解。它詳細分析了對量子力學的誕生和發展做出最大貢獻的常見主題(黑體光譜、原子模型、EPR悖論等),同時還處理了通常不被討論的想法、概念和結果(渦旋原子、對“電子”一詞含義的討論、康普頓效應的非量子模型等)。考慮的時間範圍主要是從1880年代到1940年代,但附錄中還簡要介紹了一些較新的結果。本書基於近800份原始文件 - 書籍、論文、信件、報紙 - 其內容不僅部分報導,還解釋並置於歷史、社會和學科背景中。除了嚴謹的歷史框架外,本書還提供了對所呈現的物理方面的教育性討論。事實上,書中還有一些特定的章節和小節帶有教學觀察。本書面向追求STEM學位的學生,特別是那些希望了解量子力學的起源和基礎的人。但它當然也適用於渴望重新考慮量子世界觀的專業物理學家。因此,我們考慮的是好奇的思想、教授量子物理學的人以及從事量子技術的個人。

作者簡介

Marco Giliberti is Associate Professor in History of Physics and Physics Education at the University of Milan where he teaches Relativity and Didactics of Physics through the laboratory. He conducts research in Quantum Physics and Quantum Field Theory Education, the teaching of Electromagnetism, and Physics Education through Science-Theatre. He is also involved in teacher training. He is the author of more than 80 publications in national and international journals; he is co-founder of the group "The Physics Show", is co-author and actor of eight scientific shows, and a lesson-show about Quantum Physics, which, overall, have had more than 400 replicas in Italy and Europe. He is the author of two books:

"Physics at theatre" (Aracne, 2014) and "Higgs and the physics of elementary particles" (RCS Mediagroup, 2016).

Luisa Lovisetti holds two master's degrees, one in Mathematics and another in Physics, both with theses focusing on historical issues. During her Ph.D. in Physics at the University of Milan, her research centred on quantum physics education, with a specific emphasis on historical and cultural aspects.

作者簡介(中文翻譯)

Marco Giliberti是米蘭大學物理學和物理教育歷史學副教授,教授相對論和物理教育實驗室課程。他從事量子物理和量子場論教育的研究,以及電磁學和科學劇場的物理教育教學。他也參與教師培訓。他在國內外期刊上發表了80多篇論文;他是「物理秀」團隊的共同創始人,共同編劇和演員,參與了八個科學秀和一個關於量子物理的課程秀,這些作品在意大利和歐洲總共演出了400多場。他是兩本書的作者:「劇場中的物理學」(Aracne,2014年)和「希格斯和基本粒子的物理學」(RCS Mediagroup,2016年)。

Luisa Lovisetti擁有兩個碩士學位,一個是數學,另一個是物理,兩個論文都聚焦於歷史問題。在米蘭大學物理學博士期間,她的研究集中在量子物理教育,特別強調歷史和文化方面的問題。
