In October 1924, The Physical Review, a relatively minor journal at the time, published a remarkable two-part paper by John H. Van Vleck, working in virtual isolation at the University of Minnesota. Van Vleck combined advanced techniques of classical mechanics with Bohr's correspondence principle and Einstein's quantum theory of radiation to find quantum analogues of classical expressions for the emission, absorption, and dispersion of radiation. For modern readers Van Vleck's paper is much easier to follow than the famous paper by Kramers and Heisenberg on dispersion theory, which covers similar terrain and is widely credited to have led directly to Heisenberg's Umdeutung paper. This makes Van Vleck's paper extremely valuable for the reconstruction of the genesis of matrix mechanics. It also makes it tempting to ask why Van Vleck did not take the next step and develop matrix mechanics himself.

“…20 Ehrenfest taught regularly two courses, alternating between electromagnetic theory and statistical mechanics, dedicating most of the second semester of the latter to atomic physics and quantum theory(Klein 1989: 30).21 Concerning the introduction of quantum physics in Spain, seeSánchez-Ron (1987).22 Terradas was another pioneer in the introduction of quantum physics in Spain(Roca i Rosell andSánchez-Ron 1990, andSánchez-Ron 1987). 23 About Reiche, who emigrated to the United states in 1941, seeBederson (2005).10 The Non-introduction of Low-Temperature Physics in Spain…”
