Elliot H. Lieb - The Quantum-mechanical world view: a remarkably successful but still incomplete theory
ELLIOT H. LIEB, Princeton University |
The Quantum-mechanical world view: a remarkably successful but still incomplete theory |
This talk will be about some important, unsolved problems of a mathematical nature connected with the quantum mechanical many body theory. It will center on the stability of matter problem and how this is connected to the largely unsolved problem of quantum electrodynamics. The historical background and the present status of the subject will be reviewed.
