Abstract

There has been a lot of discussion about Heisenberg’s Umdeutung paper of 1925, which is universally credited as the first formulation of modern quantum mechanics. Much of this discussion has been characterized by puzzlement over the manner in which Heisenberg arrived at his formulation, supposedly through Bohr’s atomic theory in conjunction with two philosophical principles, namely the Correspondence Principle and the Observability Principle. I provide textual, contextual, and philosophical evidence that the “prescriptive-dynamical framework” – recently advocated in the literature on independent grounds – is the perfect perspective from which to understand Heisenberg’s work and the significance of the two principles he utilized to arrive at it.

用规范动力学术语重新诠释海森堡的 Umdeutung。
海森堡 1925 年发表的 Umdeutung 论文被公认为现代量子力学的首次表述,关于这篇论文的讨论一直不绝于耳。讨论的主要特点是,人们对海森堡是如何得出其表述的感到困惑,据说他是通过玻尔的原子理论与两个哲学原理(即对应原理和可观测原理)相结合得出其表述的。我将提供文本、背景和哲学证据,证明 "规定性-动力学框架"--最近在文献中以独立的理由得到提倡--是理解海森堡的工作以及他用来得出这一理论的两个原则的意义的完美视角。
