Description
The Quantum Theory (1922) — Hardcover
A Landmark Scientific Classic • Antiquarian Facsimile Edition • Fritz Reiche
The Quantum Theory, written by physicist Fritz Reiche and originally published in 1922, is one of the earliest comprehensive explanations of the revolutionary ideas that reshaped modern physics. This rare hardcover facsimile edition preserves the original text exactly as it appeared over a century ago — a foundational scientific work brought back into circulation for collectors, historians, and physics enthusiasts.
Reiche’s book is divided into two major parts. The first introduces the fundamental principles of early quantum mechanics, including wave‑particle duality, quantization, and the emerging uncertainty principle. The second part explores the deeper mathematical framework of the theory, discussing wave functions, operators, and the early formulations that would later evolve into the Schrödinger equation.
Throughout the text, Reiche offers clear explanations, historical context, and examples drawn from the groundbreaking work of Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, and other pioneers who shaped the quantum revolution.
This facsimile reprint may include imperfections such as library marks or notations — a natural part of preserving culturally important scientific literature. It remains an essential resource for anyone studying the origins of quantum mechanics or collecting early physics texts.
