Studying under John Wheeler at Princeton, he used the principle of least action to develop the path integral formulation for quantum mechanics and Oppenheimer described him as "the most brilliant young physicist" at Los Alamos. FTP, identify this man whose 1947 papers "The Theory of Positrons" and "Space-Time Approach to Quantum Electrodynamics" set the stage for the work which gained him a share the Nobel Prize in 1965.
