Abstract:

A lot of Einstein's important contributions to quantum physics is well known.Light quanta and his quantum radiation theory laid the foundations to modern QED. These were concluded during the first decade of his scientific life(1905-1916). Most of his later activities in the field are much less known. As editors of Einstein's writings and correspondence we discover significant and interesting writings and reactions to the new experiments (Stern-Gerlach,Compton) and theories (Bose, de-Broglie, Heisenberg, Schroedinger). These latter discoveries will be displayed and discussed.
