Eugene Paul Wigner Born: 17 Nov 1902 in Budapest, Hungary Died: 1 Jan 1995 in Princeton, New Jersey, USA Wigner From 1930 to 1933 Wigner spent part of the year at Princeton, part at Berlin. His Berlin post vanished under the Nazi rules passed in 1933 and from then, except for the years 1936 - 1938 in Wisconsin, Wigner spent the rest of his career at Princeton. He was appointed to the chair of mathematical physics at Princeton in 1938. Wigner's most important work was on quantum mechanics, in particular the concept of the symmetry in space and time that characterises subatomic particles. This work involved him in a deep study of group representations. In 1938 he constructed a class of irreducible unitary representations of the Lorentz group. He was awarded a share of the Nobel prize for Physics in 1963. His important works include Dispersion Relations and Their Connection with Causality (1964) and Symmetries and Reflections Article by: J J O'Connor and E F Robertson Honours awarded to Eugene P Wigner Nobel Prize Awarded 1963 Fellow of the Royal Society Elected 1970 AMS Gibbs Lecturer From: The MacTutor History of Mathematics archive School of Mathematics and Statistics University of St Andrews, Scotland

25. Eugene Paul Wigner, November 17, 1902 — January 1, 1995 | By Frederick Seitz, E for the application of symmetry principles to quantum mechanics, an achievementfor which he earned the nobel Prize. The Recollections of eugene P. wigner. http://www.nap.edu/html/biomems/ewigner.html

BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS National Academy of Sciences Courtesy of Atoms for Peace Awards, Inc. Eugene Paul Wigner By Frederick Seitz, Erich Vogt, and Alvin M. Weinberg EUGENE WIGNER WAS A towering leader of modern physics for more than half of the twentieth century. While his greatest renown was associated with the introduction of symmetry theory to quantum physics and chemistry, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics for 1963, his scientific work encompassed an astonishing breadth of science, perhaps unparalleled during his time. In preparing this memoir, we have the impression we are attempting to record the monumental achievements of half a dozen scientists. There is the Wigner who demonstrated that symmetry principles are of great importance in quantum mechanics; who pioneered the application of quantum mechanics in the fields of chemical kinetics and the theory of solids; who was the first nuclear engineer; who formulated many of the most basic ideas in nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry; who was the prophet of quantum chaos; who served as a mathematician and philosopher of science; and the Wigner who was the supervisor and mentor of more than forty Ph.D. students in theoretical physics during his career of over four decades at Princeton University. His legacy also resides in the many concepts and phenomena that bear his name. There is, for example, the Wigner-Eckart theorem for the addition of angular momenta, the Wigner effect in nuclear reactors, the Wigner correlation energy, as well as the Wigner crystal in solids, the Wigner force, the Breit-Wigner formula in nuclear physics, and the Wigner distribution in the quantum theory of chaos.

Eugene P. Wigner He completed his secondary school studies in the Fasor Evangelic Grammar School, then went on to the Technical University in Budapest and took his degree in chemical engineering in Berlin. In Göttingen he worked with Werner Heisenberg (1901-1976) and Max Born (1882-1970) and was engaged in quantum mechanics . He went on to the United States where he participated in designing the first atomic power plant opened on December 2, 1942. After World War II, he became involved in reactor development. In 1963, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics, shared with Maria Goeppert-Mayer (1906-1972) and Hans David Jensen “for his contribution to the theory of the atomic nucleus and the elementary particles, particularly through the discovery and application of fundamental symmetry principles” . He was a forceful campaigner for the peaceful and safe utilization of nuclear energy. Eugene P. Wigner delivering a lecture (with Ede Teller to the right of the picture)
