First publication of this series of papers in which Dehmelt developed the ion trap technique which awarded him the Nobel Prize of Physics in 1989. The ion trap is essential for the physical realization of quantum computation and quantum information processing. The ion trap (or Penning trap) is used in physics laboratires worldwide for example in CERN, the world's largest particle physics laboratory, where it is used to store antiprotons and high precision measurement of the magnetic moment of the electron (g-factor).Dehmelt himself wrote about the discovery:""Paramagnetic Resonance Reorientation of Atoms and Ions Aligned by Electron Impact." In this paper I first pointed out the usefulness of ion trapping for high resolution spectroscopy and mentioned the 1923 Kingdon trap as a suitable device. This work also brought me into close contact with spin exchange between electron and target atom, which gave me the idea for my 1958 experiment "Spin Resonance of Free Electrons Polarized by Exchange Collisions." However, first I had to learn how to produce polarized atoms, which could then transfer their orientation to trapped electrons. Falling back on buffer gas techniques developed in my 1955 Duke paper "Atomic Phosphorus Paramagnetic Resonance Experiment," I quickly demonstrated in my 1956 Seattle paper "Slow Spin Relaxation of Optically Polarized Sodium Atoms" how to efficiently produce and monitor a polarized atom cloud. Trapping the electrons in a neutralizing ion cloud slowly diffusing in the buffer gas, I was able to carry out the spin resonance experiment. My optical transmission monitoring scheme proved also very useful in the development of rubidium vapor magnetometers and frequency standards by Earl Bell and Arnold Bloom at Varian Associates, in which I acted as a consultant. The rubidium frequency standard is still the least expensive, smallest and most widely used commercial atomic frequency standard." (His Nobel Prize lecture).

Pfullingen, Günter Neske, (1954). 8vo. Original full black cloth with white lettering to spine. Very clean, bright, and fresh, also internally. Original orange dust-jacket with black lettering to spine and white lettering to front. Minimal edge wear. An excellent and clean dust-jacket with just minor signs of wear. Very slight soiling to title-page, otherwise no wear or markings to text. Letter from Heidegger inserted to inside of front board. Front free end-paper signed and dated by Heidegger and with an inserted note in ink from the person that Heidegger gave the book to stating that this highly personal memento from his student time in Freiburg and his memorable encounters with Heidegger was given to his son Matthias for his 40th birthday, in 1995. 283, (1) pp. First edition, presentation-copy signed by Heidgger and with an inserted letter, also signed and dated by Heidegger, of this seminal collection of lectures and essays, which was of decisive importance to the immense influence of Heidegger’s thinking upon post World War Europe. This collection of Heidegger’s lectures and essays contains such groundbreaking works as “Die Frage nach der Technik” (The Question Concerning Technology) and “Wissenschaft und Besinnung” (Science and Reflection), “”Dichterisch Wohnet der Mensch…” “, along with other important works written between 1936 and 1953 collected here for the first time. This collection would later be reprinted and serve as volume 7 of Heidegger’s collected works (the Gesamtausgabe). This copy is signed “Martin Heidegger” and dated (1954 – the year of publication) to the front free end-paper, and on the inside of the front board is inserted an autograph signed letter in Heidegger’s hand to “Sehr geehrter Herr Doktor” (honourable doctor), in which Heidegger asks to meet up the following day, suggesting different times of the day. The letter is dated Freiburg 10th of February, 1954, which is two days before Heidegger gave his groundbreaking lecture “The Question Concerning Technology” at the University of Freiburg, suggesting that the letter was given to someone attending the lecture, possibly someone with whom he wanted to discuss it beforehand. “The Question Concerning Technology” still serves as one of the most pertinent philosophical essays of modern time, foreshadowing what is arguably the greatest philosophical and moral dilemmas that we struggle with today due to modern technology. Heidegger begins with asking the question what technology is, in an attempt to fully understand its essence and to ultimately prepare a free relationship to it – a theme that could hardly be more relevant today. “As relevant now as ever before, this accessible collection is an essential landmark in the philosophy of science from one of the most profound thinkers of the twentieth century (New York Times). The advent of machine technology has given rise to some of the deepest problems of modern thought. Featuring the celebrated essay The Question Concerning Technology, this prescient volume contains Martin Heidegger's groundbreaking investigation into the pervasive enframing character of our understanding of ourselves and the world.” (Harper Collins: The Question Concerning Technology And Other Essays By Martin Heidegger, 2013). “Science and Reflection” (here published for the first time), a lecture delivered on August 4, 1953, to a small circle of attendees, is Heidegger’s meditation on the difference between science and “mindfulness”, and an as-relevant-as-ever attempt at uniting science as such, in itself, with its application and meaning, combatting scientific fragmentation. In line with the other foreshadowing lectures, “Dichterisch wohnet der Mensch”, given on October 6, 1951, in Bühlerhöhe, seeks to explore how to reach a peace or dwelling in a modern, technological world. Heidegger uses the quote by Hölderlin to explore how human existence is deeply intertwined with language and poetry and reaches the conclusion that to truly dwell is to live in a poetic way, allowing for the meaningful unfolding of the world through language. The other essays/lectures printed in this seminal volume are: Überwindung der Metaphysik (1936-1946) Wer ist Nietzsches Zarathustra (1953) Was heißt Denken? (1952) Bauen Wohnen Denken (1951) Das Ding (1950) Logos (Heraklit, Fragment 50) (1951) Moira (Parmenides, Fragment VIII, 34-41) (1952) Aletheia (Heraklit, Fragment 16) (1954)
