Rabi, I. I. (Isidor Isaac), 1898-1988
Pupin lecture: Physics colloquium, 1966 May 13.
Audio and transcript of the Pupin lecture delivered at Columbia University on May 13, 1966, in which Rabi discusses some of the history of physics at Columbia University, and conditions there prior to the building of the Pupin Laboratory. The lecture also covers the work of Paul Dirac, Erwin Schrd̲inger, and Werner Heisenberg in the 1920s; Rabi's own graduate studies at Cornell University, including the background to his dissertation and the details of the actual research; his work in Europe first with Erwin Schrd̲inger, briefly with Niels Bohr, with Otto Stern and Wolfgang Pauli, and finally with Werner Heisenberg, and the atmosphere prevalent in physics at that time.
Physicist at Columbia University from 1929, becoming Professor of Physics in 1937. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1944 for his work in magnetic resonance.
