http://www.nap.edu/html/biomems/ewigner.html

Extractions: 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.

Biography of wigner (19021995) eugene Paul wigner. Born 17 Nov 1902 in Budapest, Hungary The Hungarian version of eugene Paul wigner's name was Jenó Pál wigner
http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Wigner.html

Extractions: The Hungarian version of Eugene Paul Wigner From the time he was five years old Wigner was given private tuition at home. When he was ten years old he entered an elementary school but about a year after he began his studies at the school he was told that he had tuberculosis. The cure was to be found in sending him to a sanatorium in Breitenstein in Austria and he spent six weeks there before being told that the diagnosis had been wrong and that he had never had tuberculosis. However, one advantage of his six weeks was that he began to think about mathematical problems [13]:- I had to lie on a deck chair for days on end, and I worked terribly hard on constructing a triangle if the three altitudes are given. In 1915 Wigner entered the Lutheran High School in Budapest. Here he met John von Neumann who was in the class below him. However he wrote [8]:-

Extractions: Wigner, Eugene Paul Hungarian-born US physicist who introduced the notion of parity, or symmetry theory, into nuclear physics, showing that all nuclear processes should be indistinguishable from their mirror images. For this and other work on nuclear structure, he shared the 1963 Nobel Prize for Physics. Educated at the Lutheran Gymnasium in Budapest, Wigner took up postgraduate studies in Berlin where he was present at Albert Einstein's seminars in the 1920s. He emigrated to the USA in 1930, and became a US citizen 1937. He was one of the scientists who persuaded President Roosevelt to commit the USA to developing the atom bomb. In 1960, he was awarded the Atoms for Peace Award, in recognition of his vigorous support for the peaceful use of atomic energy. He taught as a professor of mathematics at Princeton University for 40 years until his retirement 1971.

http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/biography/Wigner.html

Extractions: 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.

It was a collection of people from Berlin to London to Zürich to Pisa , though not quite yet to New York or Chicago . The first physicists in this new generation Werner Heisenberg Erwin Schrödinger , and Paul Dirac , to name three created quantum mechanics . Quantum mechanics was a dazzling new world, which threw open dozens of fundamental physical questions. A new set of men (and a few women) came along behind them, to answer the first questions and pose others, often more complex. Wigner was in this second set of physicists. He posed and answered some of the most profound questions of 20th-century physics. He laid the foundation for the theory of symmetries in quantum mechanics. In the late , he extended his research into atomic nuclei Between and , this generation of physicists helped to remake the world again. This time it was a far greater, more public world they remade: one of armies, peoples, ideologies. They did it first by seeing that an
