Julian Seymour Schwinger ( / ˈʃwɪŋər /; February 12, 1918 – July 16, 1994) was a Nobel Prize -winning American theoretical physicist. He is best known for his work on quantum electrodynamics (QED), in particular for developing a relativistically invariant perturbation theory, and for renormalizing QED to one loop order.
The Nobel Prize in Physics 1965 was awarded jointly to Sin-Itiro Tomonaga, Julian Schwinger and Richard P. Feynman "for their fundamental work in quantum electrodynamics, with deep-ploughing consequences for the physics of elementary particles"
Julian Seymour Schwinger was an American physicist and joint winner, with Richard P. Feynman and Tomonaga Shin’ichirō, of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1965 for introducing new ideas and methods into quantum electrodynamics.
Feb 13, 2018 · In the fall of 1945, at Los Alamos, New Mexico, scientists working on the Manhattan Project heard Julian Schwinger deliver a brilliant lecture about a new accelerator he had designed.
Jul 16, 1994 · From 1972 until his death in 1994 Schwinger worked at the University of California, Los Angeles. He was enormously respected, was a highly gifted lecturer, and supervised a string of impressive graduate students. Over his career he supervised over 70 doctoral students, 3 of whom have received Nobel prizes.
Jul 16, 1994 · Julian Schwinger. The Nobel Prize in Physics 1965. Born: 12 February 1918, New York, NY, USA. Died: 16 July 1994, Los Angeles, CA, USA. Affiliation at the time of the award: Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA.
Aug 14, 2003 · Abstract. Julian Schwinger was one of the leading theoretical physicists of the 20th century. His contributions are as important, and as pervasive, as those of Richard Feynman, with whom he shared the 1965 Nobel Prize for Physics (along with Sin-itiro Tomonaga).
Apr 1, 2002 · Julian Schwinger (1918–1994) was a legendary figure in the history of fundamental physics. While still a teenager, he amazed leaders of theoretical physics in the US with his prodigious theoretical insights.
Julian S. Schwinger has been one of the most influential theoretical physicists of the post-World War II era. The techniques he developed have become a substantial part of the common theoretical tools currently employed by physicists, including the quantum action principle, the proper-time method, and the effective action techniques.
Jul 16, 1994 · Julian Schwinger was born on 12th February 1918 in New York City. Fiercely independent, he taught himself physics and mathematics by reading books and journals. With his exceptional gift in grasping the profound ideas of physics, he debuted as a theoretical physicist at the age of sixteen, to be judged by a first publication.
