| Abstract |
In 1923 the Austrian Erwin Schrödinger, professor of physics in Zurich, and his Dutch colleague Hendrik Lorentz, grand old man of classical physics, engaged in a fascinating correspondence on the foundations of quantum physics. In this lecture I will go back to that year, give a sketch of the personalities of Lorentz and Schrödinger and of their respective careers, and explain the importance for the history of physics of their remarkable exchange of ideas.
