How this entity was disambiguated

This entity first appeared as the object of triple T4971869 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

"Quantum Mechanics (with Philip M. Morse)" is a foundational early 20th-century textbook on quantum theory co-authored by physicists Edward Condon and Philip M. Morse.
C. textbook "Quantum Electronics"
"Quantum Electronics" is a foundational textbook by Amnon Yariv that systematically develops the principles of lasers, nonlinear optics, and the quantum theory of light–matter interaction.
D. Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics
Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics is John von Neumann’s landmark 1932 treatise that rigorously formulates quantum theory using functional analysis and operator theory on Hilbert spaces.
E. Gruppentheorie und Quantenmechanik
Gruppentheorie und Quantenmechanik is Hermann Weyl’s influential 1928 monograph that systematically applies group theory to the foundations of quantum mechanics, shaping the mathematical formulation of modern physics.
F. None of above. chosen
