Selected writings

Early discussion of quantum mechanics (and apparently introducing that term) and recognizing the matrices in Werner Heisenberg‘s matrix mechanics:

• Max Born, Pascual Jordan, Zur Quantenmechanik, Zeitschrift für Physik 34 (1925) 858–888 [doi:10.1007/BF01328531]

• Max Born, Werner Heisenberg, Pascual Jordan: Zur Quantenmechanik. II., Z. Physik 35 (1926) 557–615 [doi:10.1007/BF01379806]

Introducing what came to be called the Born rule of quantum mechanics:

• Max Born, Zur Quantenmechanik der Stoßvorgänge, Zeitschrift für Physik 37 (1926) 863–867 [doi:10.1007/BF01397477]

• Max Born, Quantenmechanik der Stoßvorgänge, Zeitschrift für Physik 38 (1926) 803–827 [doi:10.1007/BF01397184]

• Max Born, Das Adiabatenprinzip in der Quantenmechanik, Zeitschrift für Physik 40 (1927) 167–192 [doi:10.1007/BF01400360]

Introducing the adiabatic theorem:

• Max Born, Vladimir Fock, Beweis des Adiabatensatzes, Zeitschrift für Physik 51 (1928) 165–180 (doi:10.1007/BF01343193)

Introducing the DBI action:

• Max Born, Leopold Infeld, Foundations of the New Field Theory, Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Containing Papers of a Mathematical and Physical Character, Vol. 144, No. 852 (Mar. 29, 1934), pp. 425-451 (jstor:2935568)
