We discovered the central dynamical feature unique to non-abelian gauge theories, that their effective strength diminishes to zero at short distances or high energy due to quantum antiscreening of charge (asymptotic freedom). This article was most recently revised and updated by, https://www.britannica.com/biography/Frank-Wilczek, The Nobel Foundation - Autobiography of Frank Wilczek. Wikipedia notes Frank Anthony Wilczek (born May 15, 1951) is an American theoretical physicist, mathematician and a Nobel laureate. Ive classified and annotated the items listed in this subsection in a separate file. Frank Wilczek [5.18.21] It came to me, viscerally, that the intricate calculations I'd done using pen and paper (and wastebasket) might somehow describe this entirely different realm of existencenamely, a physical world of particles, tracks, and electronic signals, created by the kind of machinery I was looking at. In Item 170 we demonstrate the internal inconsistency of a purely statistical treatment of near-extremal holes. Finally Item 172 is an attempt to portray the big picture, for a wide physics audience. Wilczek has made seminal contributions to fundamental particle physics, cosmology and the physics of materials. Some earlier work on this subject had been done by Leinaas and Myrheim, and roughly contemporary independent work on the foundations was done by Goldin, Menikoff, and Sharp. Interest in entanglement entropy has swelled over the years, due to its connections with quantum information theory, the characterization of quantum critical points, and (through holography) to quantum gravity. 39.
