In the history of science literature Rosenfeld is largely a blank sheet, but he was at the centre of modern physics as one of the pioneers of quantum field theory and quantum electrodynamics in the late 1920s and the 1930s. Today he is best known for his publications with Niels Bohr in 1933 and 1950 on measurability in quantum electrodynamics and as the fierce spokesman of Bohr's complementarity interpretation of quantum mechanics after the Second World War.
