Magnetic monopoles are hypothetical particles that would carry magnetic charge, a concept first proposed by Paul Dirac in ...

In the same year, Paul Dirac extended Schrödinger’s work by introducing Dirac notation. He also introduced the Dirac equation, combining Einstein’s special relativity with quantum mechanics ...

Dirac cones, named after the renowned physicist Paul Dirac, are unique features found in the electronic band structures of certain materials, such as graphene and topological insulators. These cones ...

Indeed, when, in 1928, Paul Dirac discovered 1 the theoretical framework for describing spin-½ particles, it seemed that complex numbers were unavoidable (Box 2). Dirac's original equation ...

This judgement was too radical...”. In 1951, writing in Nature, Paul Dirac argued that the concept of the aether had been dismissed prematurely. “If one re-examines the question in the light o ...

The British physicist Paul Dirac started the ball rolling in the late 1920s with his equation describing how relativistic electrons – and with it most other matter particles – behave.

A dialogue between Giuseppe Mussardo and Chiara Sabelli about the history of quantum mechanics, retracing the fundamental milestones, key figures, and most significant moments of one of the greatest ...
