Eugene Paul Wigner , born in Budapest, Hungary, on November 17, 1902, naturalized a citizen of the United States on January 8, 1937, has been since 1938 Thomas D. Jones Professor of Mathematical Physics at Princeton University - he retired in 1971. His formal education was acquired in Europe; he obtained the Dr. Ing. degree at the Technische Hochschule Berlin . Married in 1941 to Mary Annette Wheeler, he is the father of two children, David and Martha. His son, David, is teaching mathematics at the University of California in Berkeley. His daughter, Martha, is with the Chicago area transportation system, an organization endeavoring to improve the internal transportation system of that city. Dr.Wigner worked on the Manhattan Project at the University of Chicago during World War II, from 1942 to 1945, and in 1946-1947 became Director of Research and Development at Clinton Laboratories. Official recognition of his work in nuclear research includes the U. S. Medal for Merit, presented in 1946; the Enrico Fermi Prize (U.S.A.E.C.) awarded in 1958; and the Atoms for Peace Award, in 1960. Dr. Wigner holds the Medal of the Franklin Society, the Max Planck Medal of the German Physical Society, the George Washington Award of the American-Hungarian Studies Foundation (1964), the Semmelweiss Medal of the American-Hungarian Medical Association (1965), and the National Medal of Science (1969).

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]:-

Wigner, Eugene Paul (1902-1995)

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.

Auditorium at ORNL renamed to honor Eugene P. Wigner
OAK RIDGE, Tenn., Jan. 11, 1996 Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Central Auditorium has been renamed the Eugene P. Wigner Auditorium to pay tribute to the late Nobel Prize-winning physicist and mathematician who spent part of his career in Oak Ridge. Wigner, who died Jan. 1, 1995, came to Oak Ridge in 1946 as director of research of Clinton Laboratories. While at Clinton Laboratories, which became ORNL, Wigner played a major role in the design of the graphite reactor. Even before the war ended, he envisioned a greatly enlarged laboratory dedicated to developing a new energy source. Wigner won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1963 for his work in the fundamental mathematics and physics of quantum mechanics. The prize recognized research Wigner, a native of Hungary, had done in the late 1920s while at the Techische Hochschule in Berlin. Wigner, who emigrated to the United States in 1930, applied and extended the mathematical theory of groups to the quantum world of the atom, using group theory to organize the quantum energy levels of electrons in atoms. This method is now standard. With his mathematical approach to the atom, Wigner became one of the first to grasp the implications of symmetry, which has since emerged as one of the key principles of theoretical physics.

Nobel Prizes
Nobel Prizes have been awarded to seven Princeton graduates and two faculty members. Woodrow Wilson, of the Class of 1879, 28th president of the United States won the Nobel peace prize for 1919. Arthur H. Compton, B.S. College of Wooster, 1913, Ph.D. (physics) Princeton 1916, shared the physics award in 1927, while professor of physics at the University of Chicago, for his discovery of the change in wave length of scattered X-rays the Compton effect. Clinton J. Davisson, B.S. University of Chicago 1908, Ph.D. (physics) Princeton 1911, shared the physics award in 1937, while a research physicist at the Bell Telephone Laboratories for his part in the diffraction of electrons by crystals, which furnished the first experimental proof that the electron, previously conceived of as a material particle, could also manifest itself as a wave. At Princeton he prepared his dissertation under the direction of Professor O. W. Richardson. Edwin M. McMillan, B.S. California Institute of Technology 1928, Ph.D. (physics), Princeton 1932, shared the 1951 prize in chemistry, while professor of physics at the University of California, Berkeley, for his part in the discovery of transuranium elements. John Bardeers, B.S. University of Wisconsin 1928, Ph.D. (mathematical physics) Princeton 1936, shared the physics award in 1956 for his part in the invention and development of the transistor at the Bell Telephone Laboratories, where he was a research physicist, and in 1972 shared his second Nobel physics prize for his work in superconductivity while professor of physics and electrical engineering at the University of Illinois. At Princeton he wrote his dissertation under the guidance of Professor Eugene P. Wigner.

Physics, The Department of. Was it good advice or inspiration that prompted the trustees of the College of New Jersey to appoint Joseph Henry to the Professorship of Natural Philosophy in 1832? Whichever it was, they appointed the greatest, perhaps the only, American research physicist of his time. Henry was the only American whose name was adopted for one of the principal international electrical units. Moreover, he was a great teacher, first exemplifying in physics the Princeton ideal of the teacher-scholar . After Henry's departure in 1848 to become the first head of the Smithsonian Institution, physics at Princeton had an arid period until the appointment of Cyrus Fogg Brackett in 1873 and of William Francis Magie in 1882. Both men brought distinction to the teaching of physics and prepared the way for the transition into a great department. In the 1890s they, with Henry B. Fine, concluded that both mathematics and physics had to be strengthened if Princeton was to become a real university. Consequently, they began, under Woodrow Wilson, to build up both departments by appointing promising young men. In 1905 and 1906, the trustees brought to Princeton two brilliant young Englishmen, James H. Jeans in applied mathematics and Owen W. Richardson in physics. At that time there was no Palmer Laboratory and physics lectures were given in the old John C. Green School of Science. Richardson described the research facilities he found there in a letter written nearly fifty years later:

europhysics news NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 1999 (p. 13O.) features What accounts for the legendary status of Hungarian schools? Hardworking teachers have always put the latest research in the hands of schoolchildren George Marx, Hungary The Hungarian Gymnasium The Economist) said: "The early 20th-century Hungarian education system was the most brilliant the world has seen until its close imitator in post-1945 Japan." The advantage of the gymnasium system is that in the best gymnasia students can be pressed toward the limits of their capacities: they are exposed to an intellectual rigor that is not usually reached in high schools in more democratic countries. In particular, the gymnasium system gives dignity to teachers who provide instruction in top secondary schools. A scholar or scientist who knows that his or her talents lie in pedagogy rather than in research does not feel he or she is falling back if he or she spends a whole life teaching in such a school. A fine teacher retiring at the age of sixty from the Minta Gymnasium in Budapest, for example, would find many of the most famous people in Hungary in his or her debt because they had passed through his or her hands. Enthusiasts say that the two most successful of these gymnasium systems in history have been the one in post-1945 Japan, and arguably that of Hungary from about 1890 almost to the 1930s. The average Japanese 18 year old is today more advanced in math than all except the top 1 % of American 18 year olds. The same would have been true of gymnasium pupils in Budapest in 1914.

Eugene Wigner, The First Nuclear Reactor Engineer
Alvin M. Weinberg (Oak Ridge National Laboratory) All physicists recognize Eugene Wigner as a theoretical physicist of the very first rank. Yet Wigner's only advanced degree was in Chemical Engineering. His physics was largely self-taught. During WWII, Wigner brilliantly returned to his original occupation as an engineer. He led the small team of theoretical physicists and engineers who designed, in remarkable detail, the original graphite-moderated, water-cooled Hanford reactor, which produced the Pu239 of the Trinity and Nagasaki bombs. With his unparalleled understanding of chain reactors (matched only by Fermi) and his skill and liking for engineering, Wigner can properly be called the Founder of Nuclear Engineering. The evidence for this is demonstrated by a summary of his 37 Patents on various chain reacting systems.
Wigner's Changing View of the Elementary Quantum Phenomenon
John Archibald Wheeler (Princeton University and University of Texas at Austin) In 1961, Eugene Wigner argued that "the being with a consciousness must have a different role in quantum mechanics than the inanimate measuring device." By 1981, he had changed to a totally different position, one compatible with the position of Niels Bohr, that all it requires for the elementary quantum phenomenon is an elementary process brought to a close by an irreversible act of amplification (i.e. the click of a counter or the blackening of a grain of photographic emulsion.) It is instructive to review the reasons Wigner gives for this important change in his views.

Eugene Wigner
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Eugene Paul Wigner Hungarian Jenó Pál Wigner) ( November 17 January 1 ) was a Hungarian American physicist and mathematician He was one of a generation of physicists of the who remade the world of physics . It was a collection of people from Berlin to London to Zurich 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
