Roger H. Stuewer
(1934-)
Roger H. Stuewer is an historian of science who wrote four important works that reported on
Albert Einstein's original contributions to quantum mechanics.
The first was his 1975 book,
The Compton Effect: Turning Point in Physics. The second was an article in
Acta Physica Helvetica in 2005, "Einstein’s Revolutionary Light–Quantum Hypothesis," and the third was a joint editorial in
Physics in Perspective with John S. Rigden, Stuewer's co-founder of that journal in 1999.
The editorial claimed that "
Understanding of Quantum Mechanics Eludes Physicists for Eighty-Six Years."
The fourth was his contribution to the 2014
Cambridge Companion to Einstein titled "The Experimental Challenge of Light Quanta." It was one of three articles focusing on on Einstein's quantum physics. The others were
Olivier Darrigol's "The Quantum Enigma" and
Christoph Lehner's "Realism and Einstein's Critique of Quantum Mechanics."
