Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • World War II
  • Law

His scientific interests lie mostly in Quantum mechanics, Wave function, Atomic physics, Classical mechanics and Theoretical physics. His Quantum mechanics study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Group theory and Limit. His study in Wave function is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Mathematical physics, Valence electron, Fermi energy, Electron and Spin-½.

In his research, Distribution law, Logarithmic derivative and Resonance is intimately related to Neutron, which falls under the overarching field of Atomic physics. Eugene P. Wigner interconnects Linear differential equation, Order and Shell theory in the investigation of issues within Classical mechanics. His study in the fields of Relativistic mechanics under the domain of Theoretical physics overlaps with other disciplines such as Limiting.

His most cited work include:

  • On the quantum correction for thermodynamic equilibrium (6929 citations)
  • On Unitary Representations of the Inhomogeneous Lorentz Group (2352 citations)
  • Distribution functions in physics: Fundamentals (2029 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Eugene P. Wigner mainly focuses on Theoretical physics, Civil defense, Quantum mechanics, Classical mechanics and Epistemology. His study with Civil defense involves better knowledge in Law. Eugene P. Wigner studies Classical mechanics, focusing on Relativistic mechanics in particular.

Eugene P. Wigner is interested in Subject, which is a branch of Epistemology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Theoretical physics (11.28%)
  • Civil defense (10.77%)
  • Quantum mechanics (10.51%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1997-2015)?

  • Civil defense (10.77%)
  • Law (6.15%)
  • Nuclear weapon (5.13%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His main research concerns Civil defense, Law, Nuclear weapon, Subject and Epistemology. His work in Civil defense addresses issues such as Government, which are connected to fields such as Public administration. In general Law, his work in Soviet union and State is often linked to Assured destruction linking many areas of study.

His studies in Nuclear weapon integrate themes in fields like Active Defense, Law and economics and Media studies. His Subject research incorporates elements of Von Neumann architecture and Psychoanalysis. His study deals with a combination of Epistemology and Subconscious.

Between 1997 and 2015, his most popular works were:

  • Aspects of Quantum Theory (133 citations)
  • Thirty Years of Knowing Einstein (21 citations)
  • ON THE BEHAVIOUR OF EIGENVALUES IN ADIABATIC PROCESSES (16 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • World War II
  • Law

His primary scientific interests are in Civil defense, Law, Nuclear weapon, Evacuation plan and World War II. Eugene P. Wigner combines subjects such as Aeronautics, Perspective and Temptation with his study of Civil defense. In general Law study, his work on Politics, Government and Civilian casualties often relates to the realm of Assured destruction, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

His Government research incorporates themes from Public debate, Forced labor of Germans in the Soviet Union, Soviet union, Public administration and Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. His studies deal with areas such as Development economics, Statement, Art history and Nuclear chain reaction as well as Nuclear weapon. His work in the fields of Atomic Bombs overlaps with other areas such as Vulnerability, Cruise missile and Missile defense.
