From Wikipedia: Alfred Landé 1888 -1976 Was A German-American Physicist Known For His Contributions To Quantum Theory. In 1913 Landé Was Sent By Arnold Sommerfeld His Thesis Advisor At The University Of Munich To Be A Special Assistant For Physics To David Hilbert At The University Of Göttingen To Replace Paul Peter Ewald Whom Sommerfeld Had Sent To The Same Position In 1912. Landé Obtained His Doctorate Under Sommerfeld At The University Of Munich Two Weeks Prior To The Start Of The First World War. He Joined The Red Cross And Served For Two Years On The Eastern Front Before Being Invited By Max Born To Join Him At The Artillery Testing Commission One Of The Few Scientific Sections Of The Army. Apart From Their Work On Artillery Location By Sound Ranging They Began To Examine The Cohesive Forces And Compressibility Of Crystals. This Work Led To The Unexpected Result That The Electron Trajectories In Atoms Were Not At All Like Planetary Orbits Which At The Time Was The Usual Understanding Of The Electron In An Atom. Landé Studied Atomic Structure Intensively For The Next Seven Years. In 1916 Sommerfeld Had Begun To Apply The New Atomic Theory To Form A General Quantization Rule. In 1919 Landé Unexpectedly Turned To Spectroscopy Even Though The Continuation Of The Study Of The Spatial Orientation Of The Atoms Was The Most Pressing Problem Of The Time. He Turned To The Problem Of Atoms With Several Electrons In Particular To The Simplest Case The Spectrum Of Helium. The Spectrum Showed Non-Combining Single And Double Actually Triplet As It Turned Out Later Terms So That It Seemed As If Helium Was Made Of Two Different Substances Which Is Explained Today As The Result Of Electron Spin. Landé's Work Contained Several New Important Ideas Including The Rule Of Vector Addition Of Two Quantum-Mechanical Angular Momenta J1 And J2. His Findings And Postulates Were Later Confirmed By Quantum Theory. Landé's Frankfurt Investigations December 1920 Until April 1921 Ended With The Discovery Of The Well-Known Landé G-Formula And An Explanation For The Anomalous Zeeman Effect. The Landé G-Factor Is Now Defined Through Mj The Magnetic Quantum Number. In 1923 Landé Stated The Landé Interval Rule A Rule Dealing With The Relation Between An Electron's Spin And Orbit. Landé Was A Forerunner In A Phase Of New Interpretation Of Quantum Theory From Which Concrete Physical Statements About Experimentally Verifiable Facts Can Be Made. This Happened After The First Phase Of The Interpretation Of The Theory With Well-Known Discussions Between Niels Bohr Werner Heisenberg And Wolfgang Pauli Who Favoured The Copenhagen Interpretation Opposed In Varying Degrees By Erwin Schrödinger Louis De Broglie And Most Notably Albert Einstein. After 1950 And For The Rest Of His Life Landé Turned Energetically Against The Copenhagen Interpretation Of Quantum Theory Requiring As Did Einstein An Objectively Real Description Of Physical Processes. This Change Was Driven By Landé's Perception That Wave-Particle Duality Was An Unnecessary Misrepresentation Of Quantum Processes That He Explained By Developing A New Unitary Particle Formulation Without Dualistic Reference To Waves. Landé Based His New Formulation Upon Non-Quantal Principles Of Symmetry And Invariance With Duane's Rule For Quantisation Of Momentum Exchange With Space-Periodic Structures And Leibniz's Principle Of Cause-Effect Continuity To Explain The Intrinsically Probabilistic Nature Of Quantum Processes. His Interpretation Is Considered A Minority Interpretation. <br/> <br/> Macmillan And Co hardcover

Per Wikipedia Chien-Shiung Wu Chinese: ; Pinyin: Wú Jiànxióng; Wade-Giles: Wu2 Chien4-Hsiung2; 1912 - 1997 Was A Chinese-American Particle And Experimental Physicist Who Made Significant Contributions In The Fields Of Nuclear And Particle Physics. Wu Worked On The Manhattan Project Where She Helped Develop The Process For Separating Uranium Into Uranium-235 And Uranium-238 Isotopes By Gaseous Diffusion. She Is Best Known For Conducting The Wu Experiment Which Proved That Parity Is Not Conserved. This Discovery Resulted In Her Colleagues Tsung-Dao Lee And Chen-Ning Yang Winning The 1957 Nobel Prize In Physics While Wu Herself Was Awarded The Inaugural Wolf Prize In Physics In 1978. Her Expertise In Experimental Physics Evoked Comparisons To Marie Curie. Her Nicknames Include The "First Lady Of Physics" The "Chinese Madame Curie" And The "Queen Of Nuclear Research". After Work On The Manhattan Project During Wwii Wu Accepted An Offer Of A Position As An Associate Research Professor At Columbia. She Would Remain At Columbia For The Rest Of Her Career And Was First Named Associate Professor In 1952 Which Made Her The First Woman To Become A Tenured Physics Professor In University History. In November 1949 Wu Experimented With The Conclusions Of Einstein's Epr Thought Experiment Which Called Quantum Entanglement "Spooky Action At A Distance". Wu Was The First To Establish The Phenomenon And Validity Of Entanglement Using Photons Through Observing Angular Correlation As Her Result Confirmed Maurice Pryce And John Clive Ward's Calculations On The Correlation Of The Quantum Polarizations Of Two Photons Propagating In Opposite Directions. Specifically The Experiment Carried Out By Wu Was The First Important Confirmation Of Quantum Results Relevant To A Pair Of Entangled Photons As Applicable To The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Epr Paradox. Her 1950 Letter To Physical Review Famously Identified Confirmation Of Wheeler's Ideas On Entanglement. Tsung-Dao Lee And Another Chinese Theoretical Physicist Chen Ning Yang Grew To Question A Hypothetical Law Of Elementary Particle Physics The "Law Of Conservation Of Parity". Lee And Yang Worked Out A Pencil-And-Paper Design Of An Experiment For Testing Conservation Of Parity In The Laboratory. Because Of Her Expertise In Choosing And Then Working Out The Hardware Manufacture Set-Up And Laboratory Procedures Wu Then Informed Lee That She Could Carry Out The Experiment. Wu Chose To Do This By Taking A Sample Of Radioactive Cobalt-60 And Cooling It To Cryogenic Temperatures With Liquid Gases. Cobalt-60 Is An Isotope That Decays By Beta Particle Emission And Wu Was Also An Expert On Beta Decay. The Discovery Of Parity Violation Was A Major Contribution To Particle Physics And The Development Of The Standard Model. The Discovery Actually Set The Stage For The Development Of The Model As The Model Relied On The Idea Of Symmetry Of Particles And Forces And How Particles Can Sometimes Break That Symmetry.The Wide Coverage Of Her Discovery Prompted The Discoverer Of Fission Otto Frisch To Mention That Those At Princeton Would Often Say That Her Experiment Was The Most Impactful Since The Michelson-Morley Experiment That Inspired Einstein's Theory Of Relativity. In December 1962 Wu Experimentally Demonstrated A Universal Form And More Accurate Version Of Fermi's Old Beta Decay Model Confirming The Conserved Vector Current Cvc Hypothesis Of Richard Feynman And Murray Gell-Mann On The Road To The Standard Model. <br/> <br/> Interscience Publishers / John Wiley & Sons hardcover
