Author Information

Julian Schwinger (1918-1994) was born in New York City. He obtained his Ph.D. in Physics from Columbia University in 1939. He also received honourary doctorates in science from Purdue, Brandeis, Harvard, and Gustavus Adolphus College. He taught at the University of California, Los Angeles, from 1972 until his death. In 1965, Dr. Schwinger received (with Richard Feynman and Sin Itiro Tomonaga) the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work in quantum electrodynamics. A National Research Foundation Fellow (1939-1940) and a Guggenheim Fellow (1970), he was the recipient of many awards, including: the First Einstein Prize Award for Physics (1964), and the American Academy of Achievement Award (1987). The late Julian Schwinger shared the 1965 Nobel Prize for Physics with Richard Feynman and Sin-Itiro Tomonaga for their work on the theory of quantum electrodynamics. Lester L. DeRaad, Jr. is Senior Research Specialist at Logicon RDA. Kimball A Milton is Professor of Physics at the University of Oklahoma, Norman. Wu-yang Tsai is Scatterometer Project Engineer and Group Supervisor at the Jet Propulsion labouratory in Pasadena, California.
