Abstract

Compiling a history of quantum mechanics is a very complex undertaking. Many roads have led to quantum theory: Heisenberg with Born and Jordan, Schrödinger, Dirac gave us the most important formulations of quantum mechanics. Another, neglected, historical rise of quantum physics is here considered by outlining the historical context in which different conceptions of Nature (mechanistic, thermodynamic and electromagnetic) were in competition to give a foundation to physics. In particular, the roots of quantum physics within the electromagnetic conception of Nature and Poincaré’s quantum electromagnetic mechanics are discussed. This analysis can give a completely new understanding of quantum physics.
