View four larger pictures. Biography.
Jenő Pál Wigner was a Hungarian-born theoretical physicist whose groundbreaking work has deeply affected several branches of physics. He pioneered the application of group theory to quantum mechanics as well as the application of quantum mechanics to quantum field theory, solid-state physics, physical chemistry, and nuclear physics.
In the late 1920s, Wigner explored deeply in the field of quantum mechanics, devoting himself to physics. He laid the foundation for the theory of symmetries in quantum mechanics. In the late 1930s, he extended his research into atomic nuclei and developed an important general theory of nuclear reactions.
