Sommerfeld expresses his admiration over Pauli's "Handbuch-article on Quanta". He says that Schrödinger's wave mechanics does not yet solve the riddle of quanta.

Heisenberg replies to Pauli's letter. He fully agrees with Pauli's considerations regarding impact processes, which clarify the physical meaning of Born's formalism. He talks about the physical reality of Pauli's p-waves and the indeterminacy relations. Space and time can be applied only to many particles, like temperature and pressure in a gas. He writes about the meaning of the matrix-elements and on the concept of fluctuation of electrical density.
Zonder titelEhrenfest discusses in a joking language the results of some of his investigations in the light of Pauli's exclusion principle.
Zonder titelHeisenberg sends Pauli his manuscript, on the whole identical with his long letter. He writes about the postulate character of his quantum mechanical assumption and its similarity with the assumption of the constancy of light velocity.
Zonder titelHeisenberg writes on the difficulties of the phase problem in radiation theory, and on a Hund's paradoxon about optically left- and right-rotating substances and its solution.
Zonder titelHeisenberg writes about Pauli's suggestions for the quantum-theoretical relations between electrical and magnetic field strengths. He writes also about Pauli's criticism of Dirac's paper and discussions with Bohr about his thought experiments.
Zonder titelHeisenberg writes about his discussions with Bohr on the "$\Gamma$-ray-microscope". He makes some remarks on Pauli's electrodynamical considerations, on the Hamiltonian interaction function between radiation and matter and on a paper by Darwin about Heisenberg's and Jordan's formulae.
Zonder titelHeisenberg writes about the Dirac-Jordan theory and Heisenberg's criticism of Bohr's objections.
Zonder titelBohr agrees with Pauli and Jordan's attitude in their note on quantum electrodynamics. The apparently contradictory demands of superposition and individuality concern not opposing but complementary aspects of nature. Bohr also agrees with Pauli's criticism of de Broglie's work. Bohr has not been able to finish his note and is now working on his Como lecture in: Nat. suppl. : 121 (1928), pp .580 and in: Naturwissenschaften : 16 (1928)". He looks forward to see Pauli in Como.
Zonder titelThis letter encloses a manuscript by Darwin. Bohr looks forward to meeting Pauli in Como.
