E.C. George Sudarshan

E.C. George Sudarshan was a prominent physicist known for his contributions to relativistic quantum mechanics, particularly in the area of particle physics and quantum foundations. He developed important theories that combine the principles of quantum mechanics with the theory of relativity, which describes how particles behave at high speeds. One of his key contributions was the concept of "quantum optics," exploring how light and matter interact at a quantum level. Sudarshan's work has significantly influenced our understanding of quantum phenomena and has implications for technologies like quantum computing and telecommunications.
