3 days ago · People. Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac OM FRS [6] ( / dɪˈræk /; 8 August 1902 – 20 October 1984) was an English mathematical and theoretical physicist who is considered to be one of the founders of quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics. [7] [8] He is credited with laying the foundations of quantum field theory.
3 days ago · In particle physics, the Dirac equation is a relativistic wave equation derived by British physicist Paul Dirac in 1928. In its free form , or including electromagnetic interactions, it describes all spin-1/2 massive particles , called "Dirac particles", such as electrons and quarks for which parity is a symmetry .
5 days ago · In this article, we will explore 10 astounding facts about Paul Dirac that highlight his remarkable intellect, unyielding dedication, and profound impact on the world of science. Prepare to be amazed and inspired as we delve into the life and accomplishments of this extraordinary physicist.
3 days ago · The delta function was introduced by physicist Paul Dirac, and has since been applied routinely in physics and engineering to model point masses and instantaneous impulses. It is called the delta function because it is a continuous analogue of the Kronecker delta function, which is usually defined on a discrete domain and takes values 0 and 1.
3 days ago · The study not only advances theoretical knowledge but also suggests practical experiments for the detection of angular-momentum waves. A proposed experiment involves observing the effects of spin oscillations in Dirac electrons, where the rapid oscillation of the electron’s spin could potentially emit detectable angular-momentum waves.
I can agree with this, I chose Paul Dirac as a lot of the notation from QM was created by him (amongst others). But there’s a lot of people who work on QM who are under recognised, particularly those in teams that work for companies and other institutions.
