Schrodinger, Erwin
        “Die gegenwärtige Situation in der Quantenmechanik I-III [All],” in Die Naturwissenschaften Volume 23 , 1935, pp. 807-812; 823-828; 844-849
      First edition, first announcement of Erwin Schrodinger’s seminal thought experiment known as “Schrodinger’s Cat,” present here in all three papers. In May of 1935, Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen’s published a paper (the famous EPR paper) on quantum entanglement that argued, in part, that quantum mechanics was not a complete physical theory. After its publication, and in a series of letters between Einstein and Schrodinger, Schrodinger became intrigued by what Einstein believed was an absurd contradiction in the application of Heisenberg and Bohr’s Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics to the world of tangible objects. The experiment Schrodinger designed – as famous in physics as it is in philosophy -- illustrates the conflict Einstein and Schrodinger perceived between what quantum theory argues is true about the nature and behavior of matter on the microscopic level, and what we observe to be true about the nature and behavior of matter on the macroscopic level. Rather than an everyday object Einstein had discussed, however, Schrodinger applied his depiction of the absurdity of the Copenhagen interpretation to something living – to a cat. In the experiment, Schrodinger wrote: “A cat is penned up in a steel chamber, along with the following device (which must be secured against direct interference by the cat): in a Geiger counter, there is a tiny bit of radioactive substance, so small that perhaps in the course of the hour, one of the atoms decays, but also, with equal probability, perhaps none; if it happens, the counter tube discharges, and through a relay releases a hammer that shatters a small flask of hydrocyanic acid. If one has left this entire system to itself for an hour, one would say that the cat still lives if meanwhile no atom has decayed. The psi-function of the entire system would express this by having in it the living and dead cat (pardon the expression) mixed or smeared out in equal parts.” To Schrodinger, the Copenhagen interpretation insinuates that the cat remains both alive and dead until the box is opened. “Schrödinger did not wish to promote the idea of dead-and-alive cats as a serious possibility; quite the reverse. The thought experiment serves to illustrate the bizarreness of quantum mechanics and the mathematics necessary to describe quantum states. Intended as a critique of just the Copenhagen interpretation, the Schrödinger cat thought experiment remains a topical touchstone for all interpretations of quantum mechanics. How each interpretation deals with Schrödinger's cat is often used as a way of illustrating and comparing each interpretation's particular features, strengths, and weaknesses” (Wikipedia). CONDITION & DETAILS: 4to (10.5 x 7 .75 inches). Schrodinger Papers: pp. 807-812; 823-828; 844-849 , [4]. Bound in publisher’s half black leather over grey cloth boards; gilt-lettered at the spine. Near fine condition in every way.

She writes: "I think they are excellent and amusing to have. I am going to have some copies made and will send one to the Countess Orlowski, who was always much interested in the Aiken verses. I was pleased to hear you had such an interesting trip with Mr. Smith [i.e., the author]. He is certainly a wonderful companion.

Indecies: By volume and cummulative in last volume. "Frazer, (1854-1941) was a British anthropologist, folklorist and classical scholar best known as the author of 'The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion.' this work was first published in 1890 in 12 volumes and reissued abridged in one volume in 1922. Its underlying theme is Frazer's theory of general development of modes of thought from the magical to the religious and finally, to the scientific. His distinction between magic and religion, (magic meaning an attempt to control events by technical acts based upon faulty reasoning, religion being an appeal for help to spiritual beings,) has been basically assumed in much anthropological writing since his time. [The Golden Bough is] a monumental survey of ancient man which shows that, contrary to popular thought, he was enmeshed in a nightmare of magic, taboos, and superstitions. This work describes ancient man's primitive methods of worship, sex practices, magic , strange rituals and festivals. It is a greatly respected classic." from ID, page 510. This is the complete set of the third edition, published by The MacMillan Company in 1935. Regardless of Frazer's attitudes and conclusions, the bringing together of such a voluminous and detailed account of ancient practices is simply amazing. Volumes include: The Magic Art in two volumes; Adonis Attis Osiris in two volumes; Blader the Beautiful in two volumes; Spirits of the Corn and the Wild in two volumes; Taboo and the Perils of the Soul; The Scapegoat; The Dying God; and a volume of Bibliography and general index. If you have read the abridged version of this classic, you have merely scratched the surface. A life's work by the author, and a lifetime of assimilation by the reader. Good looking set.

Schrodinger, Erwin
        Die gegenwartige Situation in der Quantemechanik
      Berlin: Julius Springer. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Fine. FIRST EDITION of the "Schrodinger's cat" thought experiment, arguably the most celebrated and influential illustration of the paradoxes of quantum theory. "In the 1930s quantum theory pioneer Erwin Schrödinger proposed his famous thought experiment, in which a cat in a closed box appears to be both alive and dead at the same time until someone observes it, as a demonstration of the philosophical paradoxes involved in quantum theory. The possibility of the experiment's actually being done could have far-reaching effects on the heated philosophical debate about the meaning of quantum theory. On the practical side, atoms held in two different superposed quantum states could serve as logic elements in quantum computers, which might be able to make use of the superpositions to carry out many calculations simultaneously" (Britannica). "This is only a thought experiment, and no cat has ever been put through such indignities. But if the Copenhagen interpretation is correct, everything remains in limbo until an intelligent observer looks into the chamber. At that point, the superposition collapses and the cat becomes either dead or alive. Until somebody looks, the situation is described in Schrodinger's own words as 'having in it the living and the dead cat (pardon the expression) mixed or smeared out in equal parts'. This bizarre picture encouraged some physicists to seek alternative interpretations of quantum mechanics, eventually with considerable success" (Gribbin, Q is for Quantum). In: Die Naturwissenschaften, Vol. 23, pp. 807-812, 823-828 and 844-849 [complete volume offered]. Berlin: Julius Springer, 1935. Quarto, contemporary three-quarter cloth over marbled boards; paper spine labels. A few scuffs to binding. A fine copy.
