Description

“He was the person who had told me of the experiment devised by Schrödinger”

French physicist (1892–1987) known for his theory that matter has the properties of both particles and waves. ALS in French, one page both sides, 6 x 3.75, December 13, 1965. Letter to a professor at the “Laboratoire de Luminescence” in Rennes. In part (translated): “Let me thank you wholeheartedly for your book, 'Luminescence,' which you kindly sent to me and which I read with great benefit and interest. But I also want to tell you that, while looking through my voluminous papers, I came across notes that were given to me by Mr. Benjamin Liebowitz shortly before I wrote my article for the Journal of Physics. Then I remembered that he was the person who had told me of the experiment devised by Schrödinger and of his experimental verifications, and that he, himself, had performed that experiment...ask him for the information you wish to obtain.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope filled out in de Broglie’s hand, including his name in the return address area of the envelope flap. RR Auction COA.
