长期以来，数学一直是物理学进步的基础。1915年，当爱因斯坦发现，半个多世纪以来的纯粹数学工作完美地描述了他的引力理论中的时空结构时，他赞许广义相对论是数学的“真正胜利”。他后来惊叹，在没有任何应用考虑的情况下构想出的数学，怎么会“如此令人钦佩地适合现实对象”[1]呢？ 现今，将数学服务于物理学通常被认为是理所当然的，这根植于它的起源。毕竟，数学是为了测量、量化和理解物理世界而发明的。在美索不达米 ...

He attended Princeton at an exciting time, when scientists like Eugene Wigner and Frederick Seitz were using the new theories of quantum mechanics to help understand how semiconductors worked.

Eugene Wigner and his student Frederick Seitz worked long and hard on this issue at Princeton University in the 1930s. They were the first to figure out just how these waves could make different ...
