Scope and content
Heisenberg writes on the treatment of an example according to Neumann's method: the case of an electron in a force field with probably 1/2 for right or left spin. He talks of a application of the result to field theory, of the possibility of representing the state of a system by a matrix depending on a finite number of degrees of freedom, and of some of his doubts about this possibility.
