History of Quantum Physics

The history of quantum physics can never be complete withouta cursory look at the diverse works of various scientists, bothin the field of quantum physics and quantum chemistry. Theearly twentieth century marked the origin of the quantumphysics concept, and it has been developed over the decadesto become a household phenomenon in the physics world. Today, quantum physics has several applications in varioushuman endeavors both in space and on the ground.
Some ofthe outstanding physicists that contributed to the developmentof quantum physics are Albert Einstein, Max Planck, Neils Bohr, Louis de Broglie, Erwin Schrodinger, Wegner Heisenberg, PaulDirac, Max Born and several others. It can be deduced that the concept of quantum physics cannotbe pinned to a single physicist; it had been a work inprogress, and several new discoveries are being made today inthis field of science.
The entire idea of quantum physics startedfrom quantum mechanics. The various physicists mentionedearlier contributed exceedingly to several theories derived inquantum mechanics, but the term quantum physics came muchlater. Studies showed that the theories did not follow strictlylogical ways in their developments. They were rather createdfrom series of guesses that were inspired by the exceedingphysical insight of the individuals involved.
They could formulatethe theories relying on their in-depth command of mathematicalmethods. These were combined to form theoretical edifice withan impressive predictive power. Thanks to their incomparableefforts in the field, quantum mechanics, and later quantumphysics, has been labeled as the most successful theoreticalaspect of physics ever conceived by human minds. This script will closely consider the various stages involved inthe history of quantum physics.
Much attention will be given tothe various scientists that participated, one way or the other, inthe development of the quantum physics concept. Also, thevarious aspect contributed by each of these scientists will beclosely considered. The script will remain as explanatory aspossible, but it will not lay much emphasis on the mathematicalequations involved quantum physics. Be that as it may, thesemathematical equations will be explained as far as the scope ofthis script will permit.
