Schrödinger Lecture by Anne J. Kox:
In 1923 Schrodinger, professor of physics in Zurich, and his Dutch colleague Hendrik Lorentz, grand old man of classical physics, engaged in a fascinating correspondence on the foundation of quantum physics. In this lecture I will go back to that year, give a sketch of the personalities of Lorentz and Schrodinger
and of their respective careers, and explain the importance for the history of physics of their remarkable
exchange of ideas.
