Herman Wouk obituary 2019-05-17T04:00:00Z In 1964, physicist Richard Feynman delivered his “Messenger Lectures,” concerning the nature of the laws of physics, at Cornell University. Duking It Out with Quantum Mechanics 2019-05-07T04:00:00Z If calculus is the “language God talks”, as physicist Richard Feynman put it, nowhere is this more obvious than when it meets biology. From counting with stones to artificial intelligence: the story of calculus 2019-04-01T04:00:00Z Feynman identified three approaches, each invoking a different belief about the world. A Different Kind of Theory of Everything 2019-02-19T05:00:00Z Both came from New York, but Feynman relished his “working-class” New York accent, while Gell-Mann affected the best pronunciation of words from any language. Remembering Murray Gell-Mann 2019-06-06T04:00:00Z The first script she got paid for was about Feynman’s investigation into the Challenger disaster. Nicole Perlman Harnesses Her Superpowers 2019-01-07T05:00:00Z In 1982 the legendary theoretical physicist Richard Feynman suggested that one of the most powerful applications of quantum computers would be simulating nature itself: atoms, molecules and materials.

A Different Kind of Theory of Everything 2019-02-19T05:00:00Z In telling this to me, Feynman then went into a long diatribe about how Murray always seemed to think the names for things were so important. Remembering Murray Gell-Mann 2019-06-06T04:00:00Z Another of our boys wrote of Glenn Gould and Richard Feynman. The secret to four siblings accepted to Ivy League? A love of books 2018-09-07T04:00:00Z Feynman therefore proposed instead to build a quantum computer — a computer based on quantum-mechanical elements. Topological phenomena explored in a programmable quantum simulation 2018-08-21T04:00:00Z But Feynman urged researchers to improve the resolution by a hundred times. The world at their feet 2018-09-18T04:00:00Z It’s strange that, as Feynman says, there are multiple valid ways of describing so many physical phenomena. A Different Kind of Theory of Everything 2019-02-19T05:00:00Z Feynman went on, mocking Murray’s concern for things like what different birds are called. Remembering Murray Gell-Mann 2019-06-06T04:00:00Z So back in the early 80s, Richard Feynman proposed the idea of a quantum simulator where you would want to study a quantum system. Listen: How D-Wave’s quantum machine could help exotic physics 2018-08-21T04:00:00Z By Feynman’s logic, if we could understand what is going on in this deceptively simple experiment, we would penetrate to the heart of quantum theory — and perhaps all its puzzles would dissolve. Two slits and one hell of a quantum conundrum 2018-08-06T04:00:00Z The living room was open, and two towering walls of books there told the story of one generation’s liberated secularism—Richard Feynman, Alfred Kinsey, Iris Murdoch, Bertrand Russell, and the art of Native American tribes. Private Dreams and Public Ideals in San Francisco 2018-07-30T04:00:00Z Currently, to predict how particles morph and scatter when they collide in space-time, physicists use a complicated diagrammatic scheme invented by Richard Feynman. A Different Kind of Theory of Everything 2019-02-19T05:00:00Z Even though in terms of longstanding contributions to particle physics, Murray was the clear winner, he always seemed to feel as if he was in the shadow of Feynman, particularly with Feynman’s showmanship.

Richard Feynman at 100 2018-05-07T04:00:00Z Feynman said this experiment “has in it the heart of quantum mechanics.” Review | How quantum mechanics defies our sense of logic 2018-03-30T04:00:00Z The so-called Feynman diagrams indicate the probabilities, or “scattering amplitudes,” of different particle-collision outcomes. A Different Kind of Theory of Everything 2019-02-19T05:00:00Z There were issues with infinities, but in the late 1940s—in Feynman’s big contribution—these were handled through the concept of renormalization. Remembering Murray Gell-Mann 2019-06-06T04:00:00Z In Feynman’s so-called path integral formalism, dubbed by Wheeler “sum over histories,” quantum calculations are performed via a weighted sum of probability amplitudes for the various alternative paths in which an interaction might transpire. This Man Was Einstein and Bohr's Relationship Counselor 2017-11-13T05:00:00Z Feynman loved telling stories about himself and observing the reaction — the more stunned, amused or horrified the better. Richard Feynman at 100 2018-05-07T04:00:00Z ‘I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics,” wrote Richard Feynman in 1965, the year he was awarded the Nobel Prize for his work on quantum theory. Review | How quantum mechanics defies our sense of logic 2018-03-30T04:00:00Z Their approach is a synthesis of these: the rigour and authority of Landau and Lifshitz, and the more intuitive arguments and flashes of insight of Richard Feynman. Physics: A classical toolkit : Nature : Nature Research 2017-10-10T04:00:00Z When Feynman died, Murray wrote a rather snarky obituary, saying of Feynman: “He surrounded himself with a cloud of myth, and he spent a great deal of time and energy generating anecdotes about himself.” Remembering Murray Gell-Mann 2019-06-06T04:00:00Z An opportunity came for a possible reconciliation when Wheeler’s student Richard Feynman developed a radical alternative to the standard methods of quantum mechanics. This Man Was Einstein and Bohr's Relationship Counselor 2017-11-13T05:00:00Z In the first, Feynman flaunted his rough edges and eccentricities, and much of the book is hilarious. Richard Feynman at 100 2018-05-07T04:00:00Z To echo Feynman: “I hope you can understand nature as she is — absurd.” Review | How quantum mechanics defies our sense of logic 2018-03-30T04:00:00Z This was all that mattered to Feynman, who was unconcerned that mathematicians found the successes of his method baffling.
