SCHRÖDINGER, ERWIN.

Energieaustausch nach der Wellenmechanik.

Leipzig, Johann Ambrosius Barth, 1927. 8vo. Contemp. hcloth. Gilt lettering to spine. In "Annalen der Physik", Vierte Folge, Band 83. Entire volume offered. Schrödinger's paper: Pp. 956-68. [Entire volume: VIII, 1224 pp. + 9 plates.]. Stamp to verso of titlepage. Internally clean.

First printing of Schroedinger's important paper which preceded the great work by von Neumann (November 1927) connecting thermodynamics and quantum mechanics. Von Neumann showed, in a paper published 1927, how generalized infinite-dimensional Euclidean spaces (function spaces) and linear operators provide the proper mathematical framework for quantum mechanics.
