Quantum Mechanics

In September of 1927, in a meeting in Como, Italy, Bohr presented his principle of complementarily which gave a physical explanation of Heisenberg’s Uncertainty relations. He proposed complementarily of particle-wave, perceptions, pictures, conjugate variables, quantum evolution, classical measurements, ect. As a essentially new understanding of the foundations of Quantum theory.  Bohr felt that his idea of complementarily would play an important role in other fields and worked on these ideas the until his death.  Bohr’s view of quantum theory became accepted, but Einstein expressed grave doubt about the interpretation.
