Abstract

This chapter is based in great part on the author’s paper which appeared in 2015 in the European Physical Journal ( Dittrich, W.: The cofounder of quantum field theory: Pascal Jordan. The Eur. Phy. J. H 40, 241–260 (2015)).Before we start with the most general covariant formulation of quantum field theory, we want to go back to Jordan, who contributed more than anybody else to the birth of quantum field theory in 1925, the year of the “Dreimännerarbeit” by Born, Heisenberg and Jordan ( Born, M., Heisenberg, W., Jordan, P.: Zur Quantenmechanik II. Z. Phys. 30, 558 (1925)).
