Proceedings of the Dirac Centennial Symposium : Florida State University, Tallahassee, USA, 6-7 December 2002 /
Paul Adrian Maurice Dirac (1902-84) is one of the icons of modern physics. His work provided the mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics. He also made key contributions to quantum field theory and quantum statistical mechanics. He is perhaps best known for formulating the Dirac equation, a rel...
