"From 1949 to 1984, Anderson was employed by Bell Laboratories in New Jersey, where he worked on a wide variety of problems in condensed matter physics.
During this period he developed:
- what is now called Anderson localization (the idea that extended states can be localized by the presence of disorder in a system)
- Anderson's theorem (concerning impurity scattering in superconductors);
- invented the Anderson Hamiltonian, which describes the site-wise interaction of electrons in a transition metal; proposed symmetry breaking within particle physics (this played a role in the development of the Standard Model and the development of the theory behind the Higgs mechanism, which in turn generates mass in some elementary particles);
- created the pseudospin approach to the BCS theory of superconductivity;
- made seminal studies of non-s-wave pairing (both symmetry-breaking and microscopic mechanism) in the superfluidity of He3,
- and helped found the area of spin-glasses."
- goldenkey 4y ago> The mechanism was proposed in 1962 by Philip Warren Anderson,[2] following work in the late 1950s on symmetry breaking in superconductivity and a 1960 paper by Yoichiro Nambu that discussed its application within particle physics.
