From matrix mechanics and wave mechanics to unified quantum mechanics

B L van der Waerden

pp. 276-293

Abstract

The story I want to tell you begins in March 1926 and ends in April 1926. Early in March two separate theories existed: matrix mechanics and wave mechanics. At the end of April these two had merged into one theory, more powerful than the two parents taken separately.
