QED is a play by American playwright Peter Parnell that chronicles significant events in the life of Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman.It presents scenes from a fictional day in Feynman's life, less than two years before his death, interweaving many strands from his biography, from the Manhattan project to the Challenger disaster inquiry to more personal topics such as the death of ...
QED was designed to be a popular science book, written in a witty style, and containing just enough quantum-mechanical mathematics to allow the solving of very basic problems in quantum electrodynamics by an educated lay audience. It is unusual for a popular science book in the level of mathematical detail it goes into, actually allowing the ...
Q.E.D. or QED is an initialism of the Latin phrase quod erat demonstrandum, meaning "that which was to be demonstrated". Literally, it states "what was to be shown". [ 1 ] Traditionally, the abbreviation is placed at the end of mathematical proofs and philosophical arguments in print publications, to indicate that the proof or the argument is ...

The limit was first derived in one of QED's earliest theoretical successes by Fritz Sauter in 1931 [1] and discussed further by Werner Heisenberg and his student Hans Heinrich Euler. [2] The limit, however, is commonly named in the literature [ 3 ] for Julian Schwinger , who derived the leading nonlinear corrections to the fields and calculated ...
Q.E.D. is a 1982 adventure television series set in Edwardian England, starring Sam Waterston as Professor Quentin Everett Deverill. [1] [2] The Professor was a scientific detective in the mold of Sherlock Holmes, and the series had a smattering of what would later be called steampunk.
The Discovery of the Unconscious is the book for which Ellenberger is best remembered. [3] The psychologist, Frank Sulloway, described the book as an "impressively erudite if also much-disputed" work. He credited Ellenberger with doing "more than any other student of Freud's life" to question false claims about Freud's achievements. [4]
In particle physics, quantum electrodynamics (QED) is the relativistic quantum field theory of electrodynamics. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] In essence, it describes how light and matter interact and is the first theory where full agreement between quantum mechanics and special relativity is achieved. [ 2 ]
