Among others, in 1931 the physicist Paul Dirac was led by his calculations to the conclusion that magnetic monopoles can exist at the end of tubes - called Dirac strings - that carry magnetic field.
Among others, in 1931, the physicist Paul Dirac was led by his calculations to the conclusion that magnetic monopoles can exist at the end of tubes - called Dirac strings - that carry magnetic field.
He moves to special relativity and electromagnetism, describing basic quantum mechanics (including the mathematical framework, uncertainty inequalities and the Coulomb potential), and relativistic quantum physics with the Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations, non-interacting (free) quantum fields, quantum fields with interactions (including Feynman's diagrams), renormalization, functional integrals and gauge field theories.
