Hugh Everett III (/ ˈ ɛ v ər ɪ t /; November 11, 1930 – July 19, 1982) was an American physicist who, in his 1957 PhD thesis, proposed relative state interpretation of quantum mechanics.
The third volume was left unfinished due to Sakurai's sudden death in 1982, but was later edited and completed with the help of his wife, Noriko Sakurai, and colleague San Fu Tuan. [5] Modern Quantum Mechanics is probably his most well known book and is still widely used for graduate studies today.
Merzbacher's research was in applications of quantum mechanics to atomic and nuclear collision theory. He was a co-founder of the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory, supported by the U.S. Department of Energy. From 1977 to 1982 he served as chairman of the Department of Physics at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill (UNC). He was ...
Einstein, in 1905, when he wrote the Annus Mirabilis papers. 1900 – To explain black-body radiation (1862), Max Planck suggests that electromagnetic energy could only be emitted in quantized form, i.e. the energy could only be a multiple of an elementary unit E = hν, where h is the Planck constant and ν is the frequency of the radiation.

Benjamin "Ben" Schumacher is an American theoretical physicist, working mostly in the field of quantum information theory. [2] He discovered a way of interpreting quantum states as information. He came up with a way of compressing the information in a state, and storing the information in a smaller number of states.
