Recollections by the author about how his interactions with John Wheeler influenced his career in physics.
I was lucky to meet (and even cooperate at some extent) with Israel M. Gelfand, and tried to write down (mainly in 2003-2013) my recollections about his work style and lessons I learned from him about teaching and writing mathematics…
An elementary description of the Eightfold Way for the non-specialist is presented. This article, for publication in {\it Macmillan Encylopedia of Physics, Supplement: Elementary Particle Physics}, is being submitted to the Archive for…
Brief recollections by the author about how his work with Kip Thorne influenced his career in physics.
I review aspects of Michael Atiyah's research in fundamental theoretical physics during the last ten years of his life, and contrast his deliberate interest in physics during this period with the inadvertent impact on physics of his early…
While collecting some personal memories about Julius Wess, I briefly describe some aspects of my recent work on many particle quantum mechanics and second quantization on noncommutative spaces obtained by twisting, and their connection to…
Brief recollections by the author of how he interacted with Feynman and was influenced by him.
Dedication to my untimely departed friends, Dmitry Igorevich Diakonov, Viktor Yur'evich Petrov and Maxim Vladimirovich Polyakov.
I met Peter J. Bickel for the first time in 1981. He came to Jerusalem for a year; I had just started working on my Ph.D. studies. Yossi Yahav, who was my advisor at this time, busy as the Dean of Social Sciences, brought us together. Peter…
This text offers reminiscences of my personal interactions with Roman Jackiw as a way of looking back at the very fertile period in theoretical physics in the last quarter of the 20th century.
This article is a slightly expanded version of the talk I delivered at the Special Plenary Session of the 46-th Annual Meeting of the Israel Physical Society (Technion, Haifa, May 11, 2000) dedicated to Misha Marinov. In the first part I…
I recall my interactions with Julian Schwinger, first as a graduate student at Harvard, and then as a postdoc at UCLA, in the period 1968--81, and subsequently. Some aspects of his legacy to physics are discussed.
A summary of the path which lead to a high energy physics group at Instituto de Fisica de la Universidad Autonoma de San Luis Potosi is presented. This group is the result of the initial push made by Leon Lederman at the beginning of the…
This study examines the Pathways to Quantum Immersion Program at George Mason University, which introduces high school students to quantum concepts and careers. Fifteen group interviews with a total of 45 students were analyzed to examine…
I recall my "first hour" events following on my meeting in Fall 1968 in the classroom with my academic teacher and thesis mentor Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. multiple Walter Greiner. My comments focus on the creation of the new "strong fields" domain…
A neutron optical experiment is presented to investigate the paths taken by neutrons in a three-beam interferometer. In various beam-paths of the interferometer, the energy of the neutrons is partially shifted so that the faint traces are…
On their way to an academic career in physics, Ph.D. students have to overcome difficulties at many levels. Beyond the intellectual challenge, there are also psychological, social and economic barriers. We studied the difficulties…
These are my recollections of working with George Sudarshan from 2002 to 2008 when I was a PhD student in his group. During these years I learnt a lot of physics and also witness to some remarkable occurrences.
Since 2005, the global flagship of outreach activities in high-energy physics have been the International Particle Physics Masterclasses. We report on a survey performed among the participants from Slovakia and the Czech Republic, where we…
A look back at Kenneth Wilson's contributions to theoretical physics, with some reminiscences of the professor I encountered at Cornell during the 1980s.
