Timeline

1909

Friedrich Arnold "Fritz" Bopp (27 December 1909 – 14 November 1987) was a German theoretical physicist who contributed to nuclear physics and quantum field theory.

He worked at the Kaiser-Wilhelm Institut für Physik and with the Uranverein.

He was a professor at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and a President of the Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft.

He signed the Göttingen Manifesto.

1920

The great theoretical physicist, Arnold Sommerfeld, who educated and nurtured a new generation of physicists in the 1920s and 1930s, expanded his lecture notes into the six-volume Vorlesungen über theoretische Physik (Lectures on Theoretical Physics).

1929

From 1929 to 1934, Bopp studied physics at the Goethe University Frankfurt and the University of Göttingen.

1933

He completed his Diplom thesis in 1933 under the mathematician Hermann Weyl.

1934

In 1934, he became an Assistant (Assistant) at Göttingen.

1936

From 1936 to 1941, he was a teaching assistant at Breslau University.

1937

In 1937, Bopp completed his doctorate on the subject of Compton scattering under the physicist Fritz Sauter.

1941

In 1941, Bopp completed his Habilitationsschrift under Erwin Fues on the subject of a consistent field theory of the electron.

From 1941 to 1947, Bopp was a staff scientist at the Kaiser-Wilhelm Institut für Physik (KWIP, after World War II reorganized and renamed the Max Planck Institute for Physics), located in Berlin-Dahlem.

He worked on the German nuclear energy project; collaborators on aspects of this project were for a time known collectively as the Uranverein (Uranium Club).

1944

In 1944, when most of the KWIP was evacuated to Hechingen in Southern Germany due to air raids on Berlin, he went there too, and he was the Institute’s Deputy Director there.

When the American Alsos Mission evacuated Hechingen and Haigerloch, near the end of World War II, French armed forces occupied Hechingen.

Bopp did not get along with them and described the initial French policy objectives towards the KWIP as exploitation, forced evacuation to France, and seizure of documents and equipment.

In order to put pressure on Bopp to evacuate the KWIP to France, the French Naval Commission imprisoned him for five days and threatened him with further imprisonment if he did not cooperate in the evacuation.

During his imprisonment, the spectroscopist Hermann Schüler, who had a better relationship with the French, persuaded the French to appoint him as Deputy Director of the KWIP.

This incident caused tension between the physicists and spectroscopists at the KWIP and within its umbrella organization the Kaiser-Wilhelm Gesellschaft (Kaiser Wilhelm Society).

1946

From 1946 to 1947, Bopp was also a teaching assistant at the University of Tübingen.

1947

From 1947 to 1950, Bopp was an extraordinarius professor and in 1950 an ordinarius professor of theoretical physics at the Institute of Theoretical Physics of the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich.

His main area of interest was quantum field theory.

1951

Sommerfeld died in 1951 as the result of a traffic accident while walking with his grandchildren.

He had published all but Volume 5 of his lectures.

Bopp and Josef Meixner edited and completed this volume and put it into publication.

Bopp and Meixner also edited and supplemented other volumes in the series and published new editions of volumes within the series.

The following reports were published in Kernphysikalische Forschungsberichte (Research Reports in Nuclear Physics), an internal publication of the German Uranverein.

The reports were classified "Geheime Reichssache" ("secret", the highest German classification level at the time), they had very limited distribution, and the authors were not allowed to keep copies.

The reports were confiscated under the Allied Operation Alsos and sent to the United States Atomic Energy Commission for evaluation.

1954

In 1954, he was a member of the board of trustees of the Institute.

1956

During 1956 and 1957, Bopp was a member of the Arbeitskreis Kernphysik (Nuclear Physics Working Group) of the Fachkommission II „Forschung und Nachwuchs“ (Commission II “Research and Growth”) of the Deutschen Atomkommission (DAtK, German Atomic Energy Commission).

Other members of the Nuclear Physics Working Group in both 1956 and 1957 were: Werner Heisenberg (chairman), Hans Kopfermann (vice-chairman), Walther Bothe, Wolfgang Gentner, Otto Haxel, Willibald Jentschke, Heinz Maier-Leibnitz, Josef Mattauch, Wolfgang Riezler, Wilhelm Walcher, and Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker.

1957

Wolfgang Paul was also a member of the group during 1957.

Bopp was one of the 18 signers of the Göttinger Manifest in 1957, which was opposed to the rearming of Germany with nuclear weapons.

1964

From 1964 to 1965, Bopp was the President of the Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft.

1971

In 1971, the reports were declassified and returned to Germany.

The reports were available at the library of the Karlsruhe Nuclear Research Center and at the American Institute of Physics.

1978

In 1978, the Karlsruhe documents were transferred to the Deutsches Museum, where they are now available in digital form.
