Relativistic quantum mechanics and quantum field theory
Urjit A. Yajnik
Relativistic quantum mechanics can be considered to have begun with a search for wave equations corresponding to each intrinsic spin. However, relativistic quantum physics differs…

Rohini M. Godbole, Urjit Yajnik
This is a homage to the memory of Prof. Steven Weinberg who passed away on 23 July 2021.
The seven laws of Quantum Mechanics : banishing the bogeys
Urjit A. Yajnik
The laws of quantum mechanics are couched in subtle mathematical language. The laws are not usually stated in a compact pedagogical form. Here I present a possible way to correct t…
The Life and Science of Thanu Padmanabhan
Jasjeet Singh Bagla, Krishnakanta Bhattacharya, Sumanta Chakraborty +21
Thanu Padmanabhan was a renowned Indian theoretical physicist known for his research in general relativity, cosmology, and quantum gravity. In an extraordinary career spanning fort…
Bose's derivation, the crucial link to quantum mechanics
Urjit A. Yajnik
In this brief note I address the question not frequently asked, namely, why did it take two decades between Einstein's first proposal of photons and derivation of the full Planck f…
The comprehensive theory of light
Urjit A. Yajnik
Modern attempts to understand light go back to Newton who considered light to be particles, the so called corpuscular theory, and the other school of Huygens, Young and others. Huy…
