The City of Göttingen is an EPS Historic Site
The European Physical Society (EPS) has named the City of Göttingen an “EPS Historic Site” in recognition of its leading role in the development of quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics and so the basis of quantum physics was founded in Göttingen in 1925. The new theory rapidly developed and, even to this day, continues to fundamentally shape our understanding of nature.
