学术报告（2025年10月27日15:00）：对海森堡量子力学的百年再审视——兼论爱因斯坦的量子谜题

主持人： 张宏浩教授

报告简介：Heisenberg’s breakthrough in his July 1925 paper that set in motion the development of Quantum Mechanics through subsequent papers by Born, Jordan, Heisenberg and also Dirac (from 1925 to 1972) is reexamined through a modern lens. In this talk, I shall discuss some new perspectives on (i) what could be the guiding intuitions for his discoveries and (ii) the principles underlying the Born-Jordan-Heisenberg Dirac canonical quantization rule. From this vantage point we may get an insight into Einstein’s Quantum Riddle [1, 2, 3] and a possible glimpse of what might come next after the last 100 years of Heisenberg’s quantum mechanics. Some recent update of [4] and also [5], which includes Einstein’s second quantum riddle that is on the nature of the photon; and some new perspectives on gravity and quantum mechanics, will be presented.

(This talk will be given in honor of the centenary of Sun Yat-Sen University in 2024 and the centenary of Dr Sun Yat-Sen’s passing in 2025).

个人简介：The author is now a retired physicist. His career spanned more than three decades and he has worked on some of the most challenging problems in theoretical physics. In 1981, he earned his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of London; his research on exactly soluble Hubbard models was later proven to be significant for high-temperature superconductors.  He has held research positions at AERE Harwell, Imperial College London, Michigan, and assistant professor at Rhode Island and as a Senior lecturer at Monash University in Australia until 1998, when he published the book "Effective Medium Theory: Principles and Applications," and was elected a Senior Member of IEEE in the following year. Later he was a physics professor in Hsinchu, Taiwan before joining Philips Semiconductors at Stockport, Manchester and then returning to Singapore as a physics professor in 2007.  He is the author of two books and over 70 research publications in several areas of physics. Though now retired he remains committed to searching for the fundamental principles in physics, in particular the foundations of quantum theory and electromagnetism.
