British theoretical physicist Paul Dirac was one of the most significant figures in the early days of quantum physics, who along with Erwin Schrödinger won the Nobel Prize for physics in 1933. But it ...

The father of antimatter was the remarkable English physicist Paul Dirac (1902-1984), considered by many to be the greatest British theorist since Sir Isaac Newton. His research marked the first time ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We investigate the convergence properties of a three-dimensional quantum lattice Boltzmann scheme for the Dirac equation. These schemes were ...

Quantum mechanics has a reputation that precedes it. Virtually everyone who has bumped up against the quantum realm, whether in a physics class, in the lab, or in popular science writing, is left ...

Owing to its hexagonal lattice structure with a diatomic unit cell, graphene has low-energy electronic properties that are governed by the massless Dirac equation 6. This has a number of consequences, ...

It is shown in the first part how the basic formalism of the theory of spin-orbit coupling in the band theory of crystals can be deduced at once from the Dirac equation without the usual ambiguities ...

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the Bristolian theoretical physicist, ranked alongside Einstein by his peers, who won a Nobel for his work on quantum mechanics. Show more Melvyn Bragg and guests ...
