LOUIS DE BROGLIE AND THE SINGLE QUANTUM PARTICLE By A. O. Barut We have abundant evidence and testimony that Louis de Broglie deeply cared about the foundations, the meaning, and our understanding of quantum theory in general and of wave mechanics in particular. So, too, did Erwin Schrodinger, along with Einstein, Bohr, Dirac, and Heisenberg. For de Broglie and Schrodinger this preoccupation meant not simply the acceptance of a novel set of rules, but a constant struggle and a search for complete clarity about the way in which the new theory fits into the great classical traditions of an objective physical world view. We may call this a striving for "physical rigor," rigor in reasoning, or intellectual rigor. There is not only mathematical rigor inside an axiomatic system with which everybody agrees, but there is, and there should be, rigor also in our concepts and methods. To this kind of rigor belongs the unity, the economy and simplicity, and the consistency of physical theories; naturally along with as complete and as clear an understanding of phenomena as possible. No loose ends, no proliferation of poorly tested and phenomenological entities, no bending of logic and compromise, and no handwaiving arguments can be tolerated. Unfortunately this kind of rigor seems to be missing in today's forefront of fundamental physical theories, viz. , particle or high-energy physics.

Matter and Light: The New Physics

Campbell Pr

This volume contains the long overdue first publication in English of Louis de Broglie's 1924 dissertation "Recherches sur la théorie des quanta" and his 1929 Nobel lecture "The Wave Nature of the Electron."The book should be of interest to experts, students and all interested in the origin and the foundations of quantum physics.

Minkowski Institute Press

This is a new publication of Louis de Broglie's book Matter and Light: The New Physics. From Aurélien Drezet's Foreword: 
"Historians of physics will find in the book detailed descriptions of the then new discoveries associated with wave mechanics and quantum mechanics... The general public will find in this remarkable book a very clean presentation of the ideas of quantum mechanics. De Broglie was indeed a great scientific writer using all his talent to communicate the beauty of quantum physics without letting the readers be confused by the vague attitude of weirdness that we find unfortunately so often in many presentations of quantum physics"
