”In this communication I wish first to show<br />

in the simplest case of the hydrogen atom<br />

(nonrelativistic and undistorted) that the usual rules for<br />

quantization can be replaced by another requirement,<br />

in which mention of ‘whole numbers’ no longer occurs.<br />

Instead the integers occur in the same natural way as<br />

the integers specifying the number of nodes in<br />

a vibrating string. The new conception can be<br />

generalized, and I believe it touches the deepest<br />

meaning of the quantum rules.”<br />

Ann. d. Physik 79, 301 (1926)
