Marshak & S. Okubo originated chiral V-A theory of the weak forces (1958) With R. Marshak discovered universal law of vecto-axial vector weak interaction Introduced the diagonal representation for formulation of the quantum mechanical treatment of optics (1963) independently of Glauber (Sudarshan-Glauber representation) Proved the equivalence of classical wave optics to quantum optics and predicted quantum optical effects With B. Misra proposed quantum Zeno effect (1977) First to use broken symmetry in formulating the sum rules for electromagnetic properties of hadrons Proved that if the particle paths are world lines there can be no interaction With N. Mukunda & L. O’Raifeartaigh developed the idea of spectrum generating groups, a case of superintegrable systems With O.M. Bilaniuk & V.K. Deshpande predicted the existence of tachyons (1962) With T.F. Jordan & D.G.
