Professor of Physics Julian S. Schwinger is returning next week from over a month's stay in Europe where he served as an American delegate to the world's first postwar conference on nuclear physics and atomic science.
The conference, which opened September 5 at Basel, Switzerland, and then moved to Como, Italy, attracted 200 physicists from almost every country in the world except those in the Soviet bloc.
Of the ten principal papers presented at the parley, five were read by American physicists, one of which was by Professor Schwinger dealing with experimental techniques for studying the atom.
The Physics Department expects Professor Schwinger back in Cambridge on about October 10. In the meantime, his fall course--Physics 253, Advanced Quantum Mechanics--is being handled by Sidney Borowitz, instructor in Physics.
