He played a central part in formulating and establishing theoretical physics' two standard models the standard model of fundamental interactions and the standard model of cosmology. 55, 122 (1985). .

Still to this day I think the quantum theory of angular momentum is one of the absolute pinnacles of human achievement. Rev. Frank Wilczek 21 When the distance between two quarks increased, however, the force became greateran effect analogous to the stretching of a rubber band. Rev. 43, 1059 (1979). 295. QCD: Diquarks The attractive force between quarks plays a central role in the theory of QCD at high density. In 1973, while a graduate student working with David Gross at Princeton University, Wilczek (together with Gross) discovered asymptotic freedom, which holds that the closer quarks are to each other, the less the strong interaction (or color charge) between them; when quarks are in extreme proximity, the nuclear force between them is so weak that they behave almost as free particles. 412 Hard-Core Revelations Nature 445 156 (2007). Rev. D24, 1681 (1981). And youre glue Nature 400, 21-23. 276. Wilczek won the Lilienfeld Prize of the American Physical Society in 2003. This [asymptotic freedom] is a phenomenon whereby the building blocks which make up the nucleus of an atom 'quarks' behave as free particles when they are close together, but become more strongly attracted to each other as the distance between them increases. hep-lat/9807039 [98-67] 395. [17], Wilczek said that "the world embodies beautiful ideas" but "although this may inspire a spiritual interpretation, it does not require one". Suppl. Asymptotic Freedom, Lecture on receipt of the Dirac Medal, October 1994, published by ICTP, Trieste, Italy. B378, 175 (1992). In 1989 Wilczek became a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, a post he held until 2000, when he moved to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Phys. Ive had some fun dirtying my hands with this. 68, 2567 (1992). Supersymmetric Unified Models (with S. Dimopoulos), in The Unity of the Fundamental Interactions, ed.

During his last year as a math major at Chicago, he attended a course taught by Peter Freund on group theory in physics, which Wilczek later described as being "basically particle physics", and very influential:[6]. Lett. [3], Wilczek, along with David Gross and H.David Politzer, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2004 "for the discovery of asymptotic freedom in the theory of the strong interaction". Lett. Scr. Lett. D59, 054502, (1999). [MIT-CTP-3709]. [6], He earned a Master of Arts in Mathematics in 1972 and a Ph.D. in physics in 1974, both from Princeton University.

When only 21 years old and a graduate student at Princeton University, in work with David Gross he defined the properties of color gluons, which hold atomic nuclei together.

It is also demonstrated, in item 457, that the sorts of models studied in 449 can arise naturally from conventional, widely used quantum field theories. 205. 76.

In the early 1970s Wilczek and Gross used particle accelerators to study quarks and the force that acts on them. In the fourth paper some technical objections to the theory were cleared up, and in the fifth and sixth papers further experimental consequences, regarding the pointwise evolution of structure functions, were derived.
