Call For Papers
We invite contributions on the history of quantum physics, broadly understood, encompassing the history of quantum foundations, quantum technology, quantum field theory, and subdisciplines of physics and related fields (including but not limited to particle physics, condensed matter physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics, quantum gravity, or quantum chemistry). We welcome submissions that approach these topics from a wide range of perspectives. Particular attention will be given to the following themes:
● The genesis of quantum mechanics ca. 1925–1927;
● Theoretical, mathematical, and experimental practices of quantum physics;
● Quantum technology, instrumentation, and material culture of quantum physics;
● Knowledge circulation and the adoption of quantum theory and quantum mechanics in diverse national and disciplinary contexts;
● Women in the history of quantum physics;
● Quantum physics, policy, and diplomacy.
● Historical perspectives on the centenary of quantum mechanics;
Please send an abstract of up to 500 words via this submission form (https://forms.gle/mvT9geUYEXshUwBQ7) no later than February 20, 2025.
Supplementary travel funds will be available for early-career scholars and other participants who lack institutional funds to cover travel expenses.
All questions may be directed to the conference committee at hq-5@iuchpp.org
