- SCHWINGER, JULIAN SEYMOUR (1918–1994), U.S. physicist and
educator; Nobel laureate. Schwinger, who was born in New York City,
entered college at the age of 14 and when only 19 years old received his
Ph.D. from Columbia University. He was subsequently research associate
at the University of California (1940–41), instructor, then associate
professor, at Purdue University (1941–43), staff member of the
metallurgical laboratory at the University of Chicago (1943), and
associate professor at Harvard (1945–47). In 1947 he was appointed a
full professor at Harvard, one of the youngest in its history.
Schwinger, Richard Phillips feynman , and Shinichiro Tomonaga were
awarded the Nobel Prize for physics in 1965 for their work (conducted
independently of one another) which
laid the foundation for the field of quantum
electrodynamics. Schwinger wrote Particles and Sources (with
D. Saxon, 1969) and Discontinuities in Wave Guides (1969). He
edited Selected Papers on Quantum Electrodynamics (1958).
From 1972 until his death Schwinger worked at the University of
California. He was enormously respected, was a highly gifted lecturer,
and supervised a succession of outstanding graduate students, 70 in all,
of whom three received Nobel Prizes. He also received many honors,
including the first Einstein Prize (1951), the National Medal of Science
(1964), and the Nature of Light Award of the National Academy of
Sciences of the U.S. (1949).
