Julian Seymour Schwinger ( / ˈʃwɪŋər /; February 12, 1918 – July 16, 1994) was a Nobel Prize -winning American theoretical physicist. He is best known for his work on quantum electrodynamics (QED), in particular for developing a relativistically invariant perturbation theory, and for renormalizing QED to one loop order.
Apr 8, 2024 · Julian Seymour Schwinger was an American physicist and joint winner, with Richard P. Feynman and Tomonaga Shin’ichirō, of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1965 for introducing new ideas and methods into quantum electrodynamics.

The Nobel Prize in Physics 1965 was awarded jointly to Sin-Itiro Tomonaga, Julian Schwinger and Richard P. Feynman "for their fundamental work in quantum electrodynamics, with deep-ploughing consequences for the physics of elementary particles"
Jul 16, 1994 · Summary. Schwinger formulated quantum electrodynamics and thus reconciled quantum mechanics with Einstein's special theory of relativity. View four larger pictures. Biography. Julian Schwinger progressed rapidly through the public school system of New York City.
Julian S. Schwinger has been one of the most influential theoretical physicists of the post-World War II era. The techniques he developed have become a substantial part of the common theoretical tools currently employed by physicists, including the quantum action principle, the proper-time method, and the effective action techniques.
Aug 14, 2003 · Julian Schwinger was one of the leading theoretical physicists of the 20th century. His contributions are as important, and as pervasive, as those of Richard Feynman, with whom he shared the 1965 Nobel Prize for Physics (along with Sin-itiro Tomonaga).

Apr 1, 2002 · Julian Schwinger (1918–1994) was a legendary figure in the history of fundamental physics. While still a teenager, he amazed leaders of theoretical physics in the US with his prodigious theoretical insights.
Jul 16, 1994 · 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 the profound ideas of physics, he debuted as a theoretical physicist at the age of sixteen, to be judged by a first publication.
