Description

Explore the history of one of the most successful theories in physics. During the 1930s, physics faced a crisis as researchers struggled to reconcile quantum mechanics with Einstein's theory of relativity. This book tracks how four eminent physicists rose to the challenge in the post-World War II period to develop a calculable version of quantum electrodynamics (QED). Written by a physicist and historian, this volume details the work of Freeman Dyson, Richard Feynman, Julian Schwinger, and Sin-Itiro Tomonaga. Three of these pioneers earned the Nobel Prize for their contributions to this scientific breakthrough. This text is an essential addition for those interested in the biography of professional scientists and the evolution of modern physics.

Key Features
