In December 1924 Wolfgang Pauli proposed the idea of an inner degree of freedom of the electron, which he insisted should be thought of as genuinely quantum mechanical in nature. Shortly thereafter Ralph Kronig and, independently, Samuel…

The path integral formalism gives a very illustrative and intuitive understanding of quantum mechanics but due to its difficult sum over phases one usually prefers Schr\"odinger's approach. We will show that it is possible to calculate…
Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) is considered the most accurate theory in the history of science. However, this precision is limited to a single experimental value: the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron (g-factor). The calculation of…
Entanglement in Quantum Field Theory is restricted to spacelike separations to the order of the Compton wavelength $\hbar/mc$ (e.g., S. J. Summers and R. Werner, {\it J. Math. Phys.}, {\bf 28}, 10,2440-2447, (1987)). Yet spin entanglement…
