Description:
[London: Harrison & Sons for the Royal Society, 1926. First edition. FERMI-DIRAC STATISTICS AND THE FIRST STEPS TOWARDS QUANTUM ELECTRODYNAMICS. First edition, extremely rare offprint, of Dirac's paper, which "is justly seen as a major contribution to quantum theory" (Kragh, p. 36). It introduced his quantum mechanical derivation of what is now called Fermi-Dirac statistics, which describes a distribution of particles (now known as fermions, a name coined by Dirac in 1945) in certain systems containing many identical particles that obey the Pauli exclusion principle-meaning that no two of the particles can occupy the same quantum state simultaneously. It also contains Dirac's first steps towards quantum electrodynamics. The paper "will be remembered as the first in which quantum mechanics is brought to bear on statistical mechanics. Recall that the earliest work on quantum statistics, by Bose and by Einstein, predates quantum mechanics. Also, Fermi's introduction of the exclusion principle in…
