Georges Lochak (1930-2021)

Georges Lochak, born on February 12, 1930, in Antony, France, and passed away in 2021, was a prominent French physicist and philosopher of science known for his work on the magnetic monopole and his contributions to the foundations of quantum mechanics. He was the Director of the Fondation Louis de Broglie, an organization dedicated to promoting and furthering research in the field of wave mechanics.

Information regarding Lochak's recent projects before his passing is limited in publicly accessible sources. His main focus in his later years was on the magnetic monopole, a hypothetical elementary particle with only one magnetic pole (a north pole without a south pole or vice-versa). He dedicated significant effort to theoretical research on this particle, building upon the work of Dirac. He published numerous papers and books on the subject, seeking to refine the theory and exploring potential implications for physics.

Lochak was also known for his philosophical perspectives on quantum mechanics, particularly concerning the interpretation of the wave function and the nature of quantum reality. He advocated for a realist interpretation of quantum mechanics, differing from the more widely accepted Copenhagen interpretation.

Unfortunately, details regarding Lochak's social media presence and specific recent projects are not readily available in online databases or public archives. Much of his work and communication were likely through academic channels and publications which may require specialized access.

For a deeper understanding of his contributions, exploring his published works and connecting with research institutions focused on theoretical physics and the history of science would be valuable.

Some of his notable publications include:

  • L'irréversibilité en physique
  • Wave Mechanics and the Magnetic Monopole
  • De Broglie's Initial Conception of De Broglie Waves (co-edited)

Georges Lochak's work continues to inspire research in theoretical physics, and his dedication to the foundations of quantum mechanics and the magnetic monopole leaves a lasting legacy in the scientific community.
