朱利安·施温格(1918-1994)

Julian Schwinger (1918-1994)

K. A. Milton

摘要:

朱利安·施温格对二十世纪科学的影响是深远而普遍的。当然,他最著名的是量子电动力学的重整化理论,他与理查德·费曼和Sin-itiro Tomonaga分享了诺贝尔奖。虽然这一胜利无疑是他最伟大的成就,但他的遗产主要是通过经典电动力学、量子变分原理、适当时间方法、量子反常、动力学质量生成、部分对称性等方面微妙而优雅的工作而流传下来的。从一个男孩开始,他在20世纪30年代末迅速成为杰出的核物理学家,在第二次世界大战期间领导了麻省理工学院雷达技术的理论发展,然后,在战争结束后不久,征服了量子电动力学,并成为量子场论的领导者20年,然后在他的最后四分之一个世纪里走上了一条更加偶像化的路线。

英文摘要:

Julian Schwinger's influence on Twentieth Century science is profound and pervasive. Of course, he is most famous for his renormalization theory of quantum electrodynamics, for which he shared the Nobel Prize with Richard Feynman and Sin-itiro Tomonaga. But although this triumph was undoubtedly his most heroic accomplishment, his legacy lives on chiefly through subtle and elegant work in classical electrodynamics, quantum variational principles, proper-time methods, quantum anomalies, dynamical mass generation, partial symmetry, and more. Starting as just a boy, he rapidly became the pre-eminent nuclear physicist in the late 1930s, led the theoretical development of radar technology at MIT during World War II, and then, soon after the war, conquered quantum electrodynamics, and became the leading quantum field theorist for two decades, before taking a more iconoclastic route during his last quarter century.
