6 lives in this collection worked in quantum mechanics, from 1882 to today. Each has a full course on their life and the mathematics and physics they made.
Often together with: quantum field theory, theoretical physics, nuclear physics. All fields
Theoretical physicist who co-founded matrix mechanics, gave the wave function its statistical interpretation, and founded the dynamical theory of crystal lattices.
theoretical physics, quantum mechanics, solid-state physics
Creator of wave mechanics and the Schrödinger equation, who named quantum entanglement and wrote What Is Life?
quantum mechanics, statistical physics, foundations of physics
Discoverer of the exclusion principle, author of the theory of electron spin and the spin–statistics theorem, and proposer of the neutrino.
theoretical physics, quantum mechanics, quantum field theory
Creator of matrix mechanics and the uncertainty principle, who later led the theoretical work of Germany's wartime uranium project.
quantum mechanics, nuclear physics, quantum field theory
English theoretical physicist who gave quantum mechanics its general formulation, wrote the relativistic equation of the electron and predicted antimatter.
quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, mathematical physics
Theoretical physicist who founded the Berkeley school of theory, co-authored the Born–Oppenheimer approximation and the first neutron-star and black-hole calculations, and directed the Los Alamos Laboratory.
