QED and the Men Who Made It: Dyson, Feynman, Schwinger and Tomonaga

In the 1930s, physics was in crisis. There appeared to be no way to reconcile the new theory of quantum mechanics with Einstein's theory of relativity. Several approaches had been tried and had…

The S Matrix in Quantum Electrodynamics

The covariant quantum electrodynamics of Tomonaga, Schwinger, and Feynman is used as the basis for a general treatment of scattering problems involving electrons, positrons, and photons. Scattering…

A definition of Poisson brackets is given which is related to the action principle, but does not require the introduction of canonical variables. This permits the laws for forming both the…

Connection between Spin and Statistics

Quantum Mechanics of One- and Two-Electron Atoms

One of the simplest, and most completely treated, fields of application of quantum mechanics is the theory of atoms with one or two electrons. For hydrogen and the analcgous ions He+, Li++, etc., the…
