The use of the axiomatic method in quantum physics
Philosophy of Science 38 (3):429-437 (1971)
Abstract
Although the introduction of the modern axiomatic method in physics is attributed to Hilbert, it is only recently that physicists and mathematicians have applied it significantly, i.e. on a basis extensive enough to promise fruitful results. Carnap, for one, stresses the importance of the axiomatic method, yet he considers its application in physics as a task for the future.Author's Profile
