  1. Feb 13, 2018 · Schwinger shared the 1965 Nobel in physics for work in quantum electrodynamics. Four of his students also became Nobel laureates—Glauber, Ben Roy Mottelson, Ph.D. ’50, and Sheldon Glashow in physics, and Walter Kohn in chemistry—as did his onetime assistant, Walter Gilbert, also in chemistry.

Prize motivation: “for their fundamental work in quantum electrodynamics, with deep-ploughing consequences for the physics of elementary particles” Prize share: 1/3. Work.

  3. Jul 16, 1994 · 12 February 1918. New York, USA. Died. 16 July 1994. Los Angeles, California, USA. Summary. Schwinger formulated quantum electrodynamics and thus reconciled quantum mechanics with Einstein's special theory of relativity. View four larger pictures. Biography. Julian Schwinger progressed rapidly through the public school system of New York City.

  4. 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. As a young Harvard professor, he quickly became the supreme intellectual leader in quantum field theory (QFT) and particle physics.

  5. 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).

  6. 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.

  7. Jul 20, 1994 · Julian Schwinger, a theoretical physicist whose work in electro dynamics earned him a Nobel Prize in 1965, died on Saturday at his home in Los Angeles. He was 76. He died of pancreatic cancer,...
