'Subtle Is the Lord ...': The Science and the Life of Albert Einstein
For withdrawing a bundle of pipes from a heat exchanger and for inserting such bundle the required tractive forces should be exerted on the bundle in a direction in line therewith by means of a key.…

Since the death of Albert Einstein in 1955 there have been many books and articles written about the man and a number of attempts to "explain" relativity. In this new major work Abraham Pais, himself…
On the Scattering of a Particle by a Static Potential
The behavior of the solutions of scattering integral equations is studied as a function of the potential strength λ. From an analysis of the second Born approximation for a Yukawa potential it seems…
Einstein and the quantum theory
- A. Pais
- Physics
- 1 October 1979
This is an account of Einstein's work and thoughts on the quantum theory. The following topics will be discussed: The light-quantum hypothesis and its gradual evolution into the photon concept. Early…

The coupling of angular momenta is studied using quantum mechanics in the limit of large quantum numbers (semiclassical limit). Uniformly valid semiclassical expressions are derived for the 3j…
On Spinors in n Dimensions

- Mathematics
- 1 November 1962
The matrix which enters in the charge conjugation transformation of the usual spinors in 4‐space is an invariant matrix and is skew symmetric. It is shown that there exists such an invariant matrix C…
