E. C. G. Sudarshan had a multifaceted personality with immense contributions to diverse areas of physics. One of his contributions not widely known is to do with the emerging field of ‘quantum mechanics of charged-particle beam optics’. The present note elaborates on the origins and the development of this emerging field.

Abstract


E. C. G. Sudarshan had a multifaceted personality with immense contributions to diverse areas of physics. One of his contributions not widely known is to do with the emerging field of ‘quantum mechanics of charged-particle beam optics’. The present note elaborates on the origins and the development of this emerging field.
