&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Walther Hermann Nernst&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (25 June 1864 - 18 November 1941) was a German physical chemist known for the Nernst equation and for work leading to the third law of thermodynamics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Quantum context ==&lt;br /&gt;
Nernst&amp;#039;s heat theorem became part of the thermodynamic background against which early quantum theory developed. Low-temperature heat capacities and entropy behavior were among the phenomena that classical physics struggled to explain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the Quantum Collection he is linked from [[Physics:Quantum thermodynamics]], where equilibrium, entropy, heat engines, and microscopic quantum state structure meet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
