CH1lONOLOGY
In June, he goes to Gilttingen, ~eAI Bobr •
IC)U
lectures on atomic physics. It 11 beAI that him to
spend the academic year in Copenhagen, beginning in the win
ter semester of IC)U.
Becomes occupied with the theory of the anomalous Zeeman
effect.
Habilitation (university lecturing qualification) in Hamburg.
1923
In November, while working on a lecture on the quantum the
ory (uP9), Pauli discovers the exclusion principle (1925)·
1925 Because of work on his major reference work on quantum the
ory (1926) Pauli's time is almost completely taken up, so that
he participates only indirectly in the significant progress
achieved in summer by Werner Heisenberg with his matrix
mechanics.
In the winter, Pauli calculates the hydrogen spectrum with the
aid of quantum mechanics, thus achieving general recognition
for the new formalism. He also violently opposes the "rotating
electron" of UhIenback and Coudsmit, which he regards as re
gression back into the old pre-«uantum mechanics way of
thinlcing.
lcp6 Pauli is awarded the title of professor.
1927 Pauli sets up a general program for the development of a quan
tum electrodynamic, which mainly involves the participation
of Pascual Jordan and Werner Heisenberg.
In May, Pauli publishes his umelativistic spin theory, in which
he introduces the so-called Pauli matrices.
The dispute over the correct interpretation of the quantum
theory reaches its climax and temporary conclusion in Septem
ber during the Volta celebrations in Como, and in October at
the Fifth Solvay Congress in Brussels.
lcpS For the summer semester, Pauli is appointed Professor of The
oretical Physics at the ETH in Zurich, a position he is to
hold-with interruptions-until the end of his life.
192<) Publishes the first joint work with Heisenberg on the founda
tion of the general quantum-field theory.
1930 Trip to Russia, where he takes part in a congress in Odessa
during July and August.
