商品描述

This book presents a meticulously crafted new translation of Werner Heisenberg's ground-breaking 1925 paper, widely regarded as the birth "certificate" of quantum mechanics. The translation remains faithful to the original terminology and is accompanied by a particularly detailed, step-by-step commentary. These annotations are designed not only to clarify the meaning of this complex work for the modern reader but also to illuminate the reasoning behind Heisenberg's choices, offering deep insight into the physical, conceptual, and mathematical foundations of the theory. Great care has been taken to make the calculations as explicit as possible while keeping them concise, ensuring that every essential step is clear without unnecessary complexity. This approach allows readers to grasp the logical flow of Heisenberg's argument while appreciating the elegance of his formulation. Beyond the paper itself, the book situates Heisenberg's work within the broader intellectual landscape of the time, tracing the intense discussions and challenges in physics that led to the birth of quantum mechanics. It also provides insight into the subsequent contributions of Born, Jordan, and Heisenberg himself that culminated in the formulation of matrix mechanics. Aimed at readers with a university-level background in quantum mechanics, this book is an invaluable resource for those who wish to delve into the motivations, conceptual developments, and intricate reasoning that led Heisenberg to construct the new quantum theory in such a unique and revolutionary way.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書呈現了沃納·海森堡(Werner Heisenberg)於1925年發表的開創性論文的精心翻譯,這篇論文被廣泛認為是量子力學的「出生證明」。這個翻譯忠實於原始術語,並附有特別詳細的逐步註解。這些註解旨在不僅澄清這部複雜作品的意義,還要闡明海森堡選擇背後的推理,深入洞察該理論的物理、概念和數學基礎。特別注意使計算過程盡可能明確,同時保持簡潔,確保每一個必要步驟都清晰而不過於複雜。這種方法使讀者能夠理解海森堡論證的邏輯流程,同時欣賞他公式化的優雅。除了論文本身,本書還將海森堡的工作置於當時更廣泛的知識背景中,追溯了導致量子力學誕生的物理學激烈討論和挑戰。它還提供了對博恩(Born)、喬丹(Jordan)和海森堡本人隨後貢獻的洞察,這些貢獻最終形成了矩陣力學。這本書針對具有大學水平量子力學背景的讀者,是希望深入了解海森堡以如此獨特和革命性的方式構建新量子理論的動機、概念發展和複雜推理的寶貴資源。
