Quantised Singularities in the Electromagnetic Field
- P. Dirac
- Mathematics
- 1 September 1931
The steady progress of physics requires for its theoretical formulation a mathematics that gets continually more advanced. This is only natural and to be expected. What, however, was not expected by… Expand
The quantum theory of the electron
- P. Dirac
- Physics
- 1 February 1928
The new quantum mechanics, when applied to the problem of the structure of the atom with point-charge electrons, does not give results in agreement with experiment. The discrepancies consist of… Expand
Note on Exchange Phenomena in the Thomas Atom
- P. Dirac
- Chemistry
- 1 July 1930
For dealing with atoms involving many electrons the accurate quantum theory, involving a solution of the wave equation in many-dimensional space, is far too complicated to be practicable. One must… Expand
The fundamental equations of quantum mechanics
- P. Dirac
- Physics
- 1 December 1925
It is well known that the experimental facts of atomic physics necessitate a departure from the classical theory of electrodynamics in the description of atomic phenomena. This departure takes the… Expand
On the Theory of quantum mechanics
- P. Dirac
- Mathematics
- 1 October 1926
The new mechanics of the atom introduced by Heisenberg may be based on the assumption that the variables that describe a dynamical system do not obey the commutative law of multiplication, but… Expand
Quantum Mechanics of Many-Electron Systems
- P. Dirac
- Physics
- 6 April 1929
The general theory of quantum mechanics is now almost complete, the imperfections that still remain being in connection with the exact fitting in of the theory with relativity ideas. These give rise… Expand
GAUGE-INVARIANT FORMULATION OF QUANTUM ELECTRODYNAMICS
- P. Dirac
- Physics
- 1 November 1955
Electrodynamics is formulated so as to be manifestly invariant under general gauge transformations, through being built up entirely in terms of gauge-invariant dynamical variables. The quantization… Expand
