Schwinger's Quantum Action Principle: From Dirac's formulation through Feynman's path integrals, the Schwinger-Keldysh method, quantum field theory, to source theory
K. A. Milton
Starting from the earlier notions of stationary action principles, we show how Julian Schwinger's Quantum Action Principle descended from Dirac's formulation, which independently l…
Synthetic versus Dirac monopoles
Carl M. Bender, Maarten DeKieviet, K. A. Milton
In some recent experiments the distinction between synthetic magnetic monopoles and Dirac monopoles has been blurred. A case in point is the work in a letter by Ray {\it et al.} [a…
Schwinger's Approach to Einstein's Gravity and Beyond
K. A. Milton
Julian Schwinger (1918--1994), founder of renormalized quantum electrodynamics, was arguably the leading theoretical physicist of the second half of the 20th century. Thus it is no…
Electromagnetic Angular Momentum and Relativity
Kimball A. Milton, Giulio Meille
Recently there have been suggestions that the Lorentz force law is inconsistent with special relativity. This is difficult to understand, since Einstein invented relativity in orde…
How does Casimir energy fall? III. Inertial forces on vacuum energy
K. V. Shajesh, Kimball A. Milton, Prachi Parashar +1
We have recently demonstrated that Casimir energy due to parallel plates, including its divergent parts, falls like conventional mass in a weak gravitational field. The divergent p…
Julian Schwinger: Nuclear Physics, the Radiation Laboratory, Renormalized QED, Source Theory, and Beyond
K. A. Milton
Julian Schwinger's influence on twentieth century science is profound and pervasive. Of course, he is most famous for his renormalization theory of quantum electrodynamics, for whi…
