Laporte, Otto, 1902-
Oral history interview with Otto Laporte, 1964 January 29 and 31.
This interview was conducted as part of the Archives for the History of Quantum Physics project, which includes tapes and transcripts of oral history interviews conducted with circa 100 atomic and quantum physicists. Subjects discuss their family backgrounds, how they became interested in physics, their educations, people who influenced them, their careers including social influences on the conditions of research, and the state of atomic, nuclear, and quantum physics during the period in which they worked. Discussions of scientific matters relate to work that was done between approximately 1900 and 1930, with an emphasis on the discovery and interpretations of quantum mechanics in the 1920s. Also prominently mentioned are: Joseph Sweetman Ames, Ernst Back, Niels Henrik David Bohr, Max Born, Gregory Breit, Louis de Broglie, Constantin Carathǒdory, Eugn̈e Charles Catalan, Peter Josef William Debye, Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac, Paul Ehrenfest, Albert Einstein, Walter M.
