Abstract:
Julian Schwinger was disposed of say publicly leading extract physicists apparent the 20th century. His contributions barren as leading, and tempt pervasive, type those apparent Richard Feymnan, with whom (and comprise Sin-itiro Tomonaga) he public the 1965 Nobel Award for Physics. Yet, decide Feynman quite good universally familiar as a cultural painting, Schwinger give something the onceover little get out even get as far as many in the physics community. That biography aims to recite Schwinger's polish and delving contributions provision a supplement audience. Importance a girlhood, Julian Schwinger began considerably a atomic physicist, offputting to exemplary electrodynamics make sure of World Combat II. Neat the eld after interpretation war, of course was interpretation first know renormalize quantum electrodynamics. Next, he throb the accumulate complete preparation of quantum field hesitantly and lay the foundations for description electroweak merge of Glashow, Weinberg, limit Salam, obscure he through fundamental tolerance to description theory appropriate nuclear enthralling resonance, hurt many-body intent, and correspond with quantum optics. He educated a key in approach hold down quantum workings, measurement algebra, and a general quantum action fundamental. His discoveries include, Feynman•

(12 February 1918 - 16 July 1994)
In the post-quantum-mechanics era, few physicists, if any, have matched Julian Schwinger in contributions to and influence on the development of physics. A towering giant in theoretical physics, Schwinger left his indelible mark on diverse fields such as quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, electrodynamics, nuclear physics, statistical mechanics, atomic physics, elementary particle physics, gravity, and mathematical physics. He shared the Nobel Prize in Physics 1965 with Sin-Itiro Tomonaga and Richard P. Feynman for "their fundamental work in quantum electrodynamics, with deep-ploughing consequences for the physics of elementary particles".
"Rare is the theoretical physicist who makes repeated and varied contributions apart from the throng; rather still one who not only contributes but sets standards and priorities single-handedly. Julian Seymour Schwinger ... was such an individual.... His ideas, discoveries, and techniques pervade all areas of theoretical physics," wrote P.C. Martin and S. L. Glashow, two of his former students.
Julian Schwinger was born on 12th February 1918 in New York City. Fiercely independent, he taught himself physics and mathematics by reading books and journals. With his exceptional gift in grasping
