Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr belong to the pioneers of quantum physics. Their contribution to the development of the theory was based on different expectations and research programs. After non-relativistic quantum mechanics had been developed, their debate touched on all the central aspects of the interpretation of this theory, which revolutionized the world view of physics. They were thus also confronted with the epistemological, methodological and world-view related implications of the development of physics in the 20th century. Therefore, it certainly does no injustice to Erwin Schrodinger’s extraordinary scientific contributions to the development of wave mechanics to analyze bis position in the intellectual debate between those two scholars, who admired each other and later became friends. We will focus here on letters, or excerpts of letters. |
