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.
Heisenberg, WernerHeisenberg 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.
Heisenberg, WernerHeisenberg 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.
Heisenberg, WernerHeisenberg 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.
Heisenberg, WernerHeisenberg 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.
Heisenberg, WernerHeisenberg writes about the Dirac-Jordan theory and Heisenberg's criticism of Bohr's objections.
Heisenberg, WernerHeisenberg continues his letter on ferromagnetism.
Heisenberg, WernerHeisenberg replies to Pauli's questions about his letter on ferromagnetism: 1) on the magnetic moments of the atom residues, 2) the case of paramagnetism, 3) the calculation of the state-sum.
Heisenberg, WernerThe letter includes remarks on a paper by Pauli, on a second paper by himself on ferromagnetism for the Sommerfeld-Festschrift and on Dirac's theory.
