Abstracts
The present paper seeks to establish a basis for theoretical quantum mechanics founded exclusively upon relationships between quantities which in principle are observable.
Abstract In this mathematical paper a basis is sought for a quantum system of mechanics, which is founded entirely upon relationships between the principal magnitudes available for observation, since former systems are based on non-observable quantities such as the electronic period. Difficulties arising from the latter conception are briefly discussed. The most important primary hypotheses concerning the new standpoint are to be found in the frequency condition and the work resulting from the Kramers dispersion theory. For the present purpose, however, treatment is limited to problems involving only one degree of freedom. (Science Abstracts, 1925, 45. H. H. Ho.).
