La mecánica ondulatoria llega a España: Schrödinger en la Universidad Internacional de Santander, agosto de 1934 (2020)

unapi

Describimos y analizamos los detalles de la primera visita del físico vienés Erwin Schrödinger a España, en verano de 1934. El motivo del viaje fue la invitación de la Universidad Internacional de Santander, cita a la que acudió después de intervenir en el XIV Congreso de la Asociación Española para el Progreso de las Ciencias que se celebró ese mismo verano en Santiago de Compostela. Discutiremos el impacto de esta visita en los primeros desarrollos de la mecánica cuántica en España y veremos el papel que tuvieron en este episodio personajes como Xavier Zubiri o Blas Cabrera. También pondremos esta visita en el contexto de la evolución personal y académica de Schrödinger, especialmente en lo que se refiere al contenido de sus intervenciones. Veremos que lo que presentó en Santiago y Santander debe considerarse un anticipo de su crítica a la interpretación ortodoxa de la nueva mecánica de los cuantos. Dejamos para una segunda entrega el viaje que realizó en la primavera de 1935, menos de un año después, esta vez junto a su esposa Annie, y en la que pronunció diversas conferencias y cursos sobre mecánica ondulatoria en Madrid. We describe and analyze the details of the first visit of the Viennese physicist Erwin Schröding-er to Spain, in the summer of 1934. The reason for the trip was the invitation he received from the International University of Santander, a meeting he attended after participating in the XIV Conference of the Spanish Association for the Advancement of Science that took place that same summer in Santiago de Compostela. We will discuss the impact of this visit on the first developments of quantum mechanics in Spain and see the role that personalities such as Xavier Zubiri or Blas Cabrera played in this episode. We will also put this visit in the context of Schrödinger’s personal and academic life, especially as regards the content of his talks. We will see that what he presented in Santiago and Santander should be considered as an advan-ce of his criticism of the orthodox interpretation of quantum mechanics. We leave for a se-cond installment the trip he made in the spring of 1935, less than a year later, this time with his wife Annie, and in which he delivered various conferences and courses on wave mechanics in Madrid.
