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 ...
(In 1925, Heisenberg was 24, Paul Dirac was 23, while “old man” Erwin Schrödinger was 38. Heisenberg got the physics Nobel Prize in 1932; Dirac and Schrödinger shared it in 1933.) ...
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 ...
In the southern courtyard, the design of the paving layout draws on the work of the Nobel Prize-winning Bristol-born mathematician Paul Dirac (1902 - 1984). The incorporation of public art in the ...

It might be possible to probe a close analogue of zitterbewegung by recreating the mathematics of Dirac's equation in a quantum wire. Dirac's equation has an infinite number of solutions with ...
He mixed with other scientific luminaries of the early twentieth century including Albert Einstein, Max Born, Max Planck, and Paul Dirac. He worked across several fields so successfully that ...
