Abstract
In these brief notes we want to render homage to the memory of E.C.G. Sudarshan, adding it to the many contributions devoted to preserve his memory from a personal point of view.
Highlights
Marshak [1]), which was the key for the formulation of electro-weak interactions
The Evolution of Physics (1938)) we may agree that the intrinsic freedom of the researcher to provide interpretations of physical reality drinks heavily from the social, cultural and economical background of the individual
Modern quantum optics has build on the concept of coherent states, again a counter-intuitive quantum mechanical notions whose discovery constituted a leap forward in the understanding of Quantum Mechanics
Summary
The Evolution of Physics (1938) (co-written with Leopold Infeld)) we may agree that the intrinsic freedom of the researcher to provide interpretations of physical reality drinks heavily from the social, cultural and economical background of the individual In this sense, Sudarshan’s scientific work is a rare combination of western logic and precision with eastern imagination; Greek-type philosophy with an ancient Indian way of thought. The deep common thread of his contribution has been an attempt to resolve the fundamental conflict between being and becoming, that is, between objects and processes: All Natural Philosophy is characterized by one central problem: that is, to understand and describe the meaning of existence and the nature of change An example of this was provided by the important contribution of Sudarshan to the formulation of quantum Zeno effect [5], experimentally verified, that finds applications in quantum information processing. It is remarkable that George’s ideas are constantly followed up by experimentalists thanks to the developments in experimental techniques
