Abstracts
Durch eine Untersuchung der Stoßvorgänge wird die Auffassung entwickelt, daß die Quantenmechanik in der Schrödingerschen Form nicht nur die stationären Zustände, sondern auch die Quantensprünge zu beschreiben gestattet.
Abstract Through the investigation of collisions it is argued that quantum mechanics in the Schrödinger form allows one to describe not only stationary states but also quantum jumps.
