Last week, I introduced Emmy Noether, an extraordinary figure in the fields of mathematics and physics. To understand Noether’s reasoning, we need to talk a bit more about the fundamentals of ...

An international team of physicists, centered at Trinity, has proven new theorems in quantum mechanics that describe the "energy landscapes" of collections of quantum particles. Their work addresses ...

Physicists at the University of Bonn have experimentally proven that an important theorem of statistical physics applies to so-called "Bose-Einstein condensates." Their results now make it possible to ...

In this video, we explore Noether's theorem and its implications on the fundamental conservation laws in physics. **Chapters: ...

David Goldberg, PhD, a professor and associate dean for research and graduate education in the College of Arts and Sciences, authored a cover article in New Scientist on April 22 about Noether’s ...

The Rockmore theorem made its first—and perhaps only—named appearance in print in 1977, in the journal Physics Letters, Volume 72B, No. 4. A photocopy of the journal page hung on my father’s office ...
