Branch of Science Physicists Nationality American ... Physics Prize Wigner, Eugene Paul (1902-1995) Hungarian-American physicist who studied in Berlin before moving to Princeton in 1930, where he later became professor of theoretical physics. His main contribution was in applying group theory to quantum mechanics He was among those urging the U.S. to build an atomic bomb, and he made some important contributions to the Manhattan Project. In 1927, Wigner concluded that parity is conserved in a nuclear reaction. In other words, the laws of physics should not distinguish between right and left; or between positive and negative time. This held as a central tenet of physics until 1958, when Yang and Lee showed that certain types of reaction involving the weak force such as beta decay do not conserve parity. Wigner also investigated the strong nuclear interaction which binds neutrons and protons in the nucleus and showed that it only acted over short distances. He gave his name to the "Wigner's friend paradox," a variant on the paradox. The "friend" is a human observer who replaces the cat in one of the thought experiments on quantum reality. He suggested that the entry of information about the quantum system collapses the quantum wave and reduces the hybrid state (where the "cat" is both alive and dead) to a simple cut-and-dried system.

"Maybe there is something new here..." Eugene P. Wigner, 1902-1995 Eugene Paul Wigner died on January 1, 1995, at age 92. During his lifetime he was a major player in the development of the atomic bomb, the design of commercial nuclear reactors, and the progress of nuclear science in general. He was also a central figure in the history of ORNL, where he directed research from 1946 to 1947 with profound influence. His activities brought him numerous accolades, including the Nobel Prize for physics in 1963. Wigner was one of a number of Hungarian scientists who came to the United States in the 1930samong them Edward Teller, Leo Szilard, and John Von Neumannand made contributions that far outweighed their numbers. (A reviewer of a book on Szilard held that those who theorized that advanced space aliens landed in ancient Egypt or South America were wrong; it had obviously occurred near Budapest.) In contrast to the occasional eccentricities and brusqueness of his compatriots, Wigner was known for his reticence and courtesy. ORNL staff members recall his waiting in the back of the cafeteria line, talking to employees, as Teller charged to the front. He scheduled appointments with the most humble of staff and kept them. His insights were often helpful to fellow researchers. Clifford Shull recalled in ORNL's First 50 Years that he once mentioned a vexing diffuse scattering problem to Wigner that he and Ernie Wollan had encountered with early neutron scattering experiments. Wigner calmly reflected: "Maybe there is something new here, and maybe we have to relax our notions about conservation of particles." After that succinct vote of confidence, Wollan and Shull charted progress in neutron scattering that eventually resulted in Shull's share of the Nobel last year.

Wigner, Eugene Paul, Wigner, 1962 By courtesy of Ulli Steltzer J. Hans D. Jensen of West Germany and Maria Goeppert Mayer of the United States, of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1963. He received the prize for his many contributions to nuclear physics, which include his formulation of the law of conservation of parity Tsung-Dao Lee and Chen Ning Yang showed that parity is not always conserved in weak interactions of subatomic particles. At Princeton, Wigner determined that the nuclear force that binds neutrons and protons together is necessarily short-range and independent of any electric charge. He also developed the principles involved in applying mathematical group theory to investigate the energy levels of atomic nuclei. In 1936 he worked out the theory of neutron absorption, which later proved useful in building nuclear reactors. In 1939, Wigner helped Leo Szilard persuade Albert Einstein to write the historic letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt that set in motion the U.S. atomic-bomb project. During World War II he worked at the Metallurgical Laboratory at the University of Chicago, where he helped Enrico Fermi construct the first atomic pile. Wigner also conducted research on quantum mechanics, the theory of the rates of chemical reactions, and nuclear structure. His publications include Gruppentheorie und Ihre Anwendung auf die Quantenmechanik der Atomspektren Group Theory and Its Application to the Quantum Mechanics of Atomic Spectra ), a classic text, and

His first degree was in chemical engineering fron Berlin. His work then turned to applying group theory to quantum mechanics and he was working on this during (1928-30) when he lectured in Berlin. 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.

Alvin M. Weinberg In addition to being a theoretical physicist of the first rank, Eugene Wigner (1902-95) was the founder of nuclear engineering. He led the group that designed the first very high-powered nuclear reactors, which were built at Hanford, Washington, for the production of the isotope plutonium-239. I first met Wigner (see portrait, Figure 1 ) in the winter of 1942. At the time of our first meeting, he was commuting between his home in Princeton, New Jersey, and the University of Chicago, where the plutonium part of the Manhattan Project was being centralized. I have since been very closely associated with him, and he and I collaborated on The Physical Theory of Neutron Chain Reactors (U. of Chicago Press, 1958).

Wigner, Eugene Paul V Maïarsku narozený americký fyzik, který spolu s Hansem Jensenem a s Mariou Mayerovou z USA dostal Nobelovu cenu za rok 1963. Nobelova cena mu byla udìlena za pøínos pøedevším atomové fyzice. Napøíklad je autorem formulace zákona zachování parity. Wigner studoval chemické inženýrství a titul Ph.D. dostal na Technické universitì v Berlínì v roce 1925. Po té co zde a pozdìji na universitì v Göttingen pùsobil jako pøednášející, odjel do USA. Vyjma dvou let (1936 až 1938), kdy byl profesorem fyziky na universitì ve Wisconsinu, strávil celý svùj akademický život na Princetonské universitì, kde pøednášel matematiku a fyziku od roku 1938 až do odchodu do penze v roce 1971. V roce 1937 se stal øádným obèanem USA. V Göttingenu formuloval zákon zachování parity, který øíká, že v interakcích fundamentální fyziky nelze rozlišit pravou a levou. Tato teorie se stala základní souèástí kvantové mechaniky, ale v roce 1956 ukázal Tsung-Dao Lee a Chen Ning Yang , že zákon zachování parity neplatí pro slabou interakci. V Princetonu Wigner ukázal, že jaderná síla, která drží protony a neutrony pospolu má krátký dosah a nezávisí na náboji. Také vyvinul matematickou teorii grup, která umožòovala zkoumat energetické hladiny atomového jádra. V roce 1936 pracoval na teorii absorpce neutronù, která se pozdìji ukázala jako užiteèná pøi stavbì jaderných reaktorù.

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.
