(2001) John von Neumann and the foundations of quantum physics, Dordrecht, Springer.
In the mid to late 1920s, the emerging theory of quantum mechanics had two main competing (and, initially, mutually antagonistic) formalisms — the wave mechanics of E. Schrödinger [61] and the matrix mechanics of W. Heisenberg, M. Born and P. Jordan [27][2][3].1 Though a connection between the two was quickly pointed out by Schrödinger himself — see paper III in [61] — among others, the folk-theoretic "equivalence" between wave and matrix mechanics continued to generate more detailed study, even into our times.
