I will introduce the development of quantum theory during 1920s'. In particular, I would like to emphasize the importance of BKS theory and provide some detail about the path Heisenberg has taken during 1925 summer. I will also describe briefly how Schrodinger to invite his famous equation. At the end I will give my personal view about this fantastic chapter in the history of science.
