V.A. Fock--selected works : quantum mechanics and quantum field theory / edited by L.D. Faddeev, L.A. Khalfin, I.V. Komarov.

In the period between the birth of quantum mechanics in the 1920s and the late 1960s, V.A. Fock wrote papers that are now deemed classics in the field. This collection explores such fundamental notions of theoretical quantum physics as the Hartree-Fock method, Fock space, Fock symmetry of the hydrog...
