May 3, 2024 · In 1934, the physicist Eugene Wigner proposed that, under certain circumstances, the electrostatic repulsion between strongly interacting electrons can break translation and orientation...
In 1960, Eugene Wigner wrote a very influential paper in mathematics, which observed the effectiveness of math in other fields. Having known about this paper for many years, I have often wondered its implications to neuroscience, and how the mind works.

May 6, 2024 · Random matrices were originally introduced by Eugene Wigner in the 1950s to study the spacing of energy levels of heavy atomic nuclei [85]. Random matrices have long since outgrown nuclear physics and Wigner’s random matrix ensembles have found uses in a diverse set of fields, from pure mathematics [10,11,21,45,69,74] to the physics
5 days ago · In 1937, Dirac married Margit Wigner, a sister of physicist Eugene Wigner and a divorcee. Dirac raised Margit's two children, Judith and Gabriel, as if they were his own. Paul and Margit Dirac also had two daughters together, Mary Elizabeth and Florence Monica.

Apr 23, 2024 · In this paper we focus on Wigner’s Friend thought-experiment [ 30 ], and the proposed variations [ 14] and extensions such as the Frauchiger-Renner (FR) Paradox [ 17 ], that have recently shaken-up the debate in the foundations of quantum theory.
Eugene Wigner was surely right to say we should be grateful for the ‘unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics’ in the formulation of physical laws. Maths only truly illuminates when ...
3 days ago · The idea that consciousness is the cause of this collapsing of the wave function into measurement has been offered as explanation by notable physicists John von Neumann and later Eugene Wigner, an interpretation of quantum mechanics literally known as the “consciousness causes collapse” theory.
