Wigner, EP (English spelling)

...Thus, the parity of a physical quantity, except for that which is derived directly from r , is not given a priori, but is determined empirically through the properties of the interaction.
[Parity in quantum mechanics]
The concept of parity was originally introduced by the American Eugene Paul Wigner (1902-95) in quantum mechanics to show the transformability of the wave function Ψ(r1, r2, ..., rn ) of a certain level of an atom to the spatial inversion P , ( r1 , ..., rn ) = Ψ( -r1 , ..., -rn ) = ±Ψ( r1 , ..., rn ) . If the orbital angular momentum of each particle is l1 , l2 , ... in units of ħ (Planck's constant divided by 2π), then the parity is: Otto Laporte of Germany discovered the rule that l i changes by an odd number when an atom emits electric dipole radiation (Laporte's rule), and this can be used to classify atomic levels by parity. ...

Japanese:

…このように物理量のパリティは,rから直接導かれるものを別にすれば,先験的に与えられるのではなく,相互作用の性質を通して経験的に決められるものなのである。
[量子力学におけるパリティ]
 もともとパリティという概念は,量子力学において,原子のある準位の波動関数Ψ(r1r2,……,rn)の空間反転Pに対する変換性, PΨ(r1,……,rn)=Ψ(-r1,……,-rn)  =±Ψ(r1,……,rn)を示すために,アメリカのウィグナーEugene Paul Wigner(1902‐95)が導入したもので,各粒子の軌道角運動量をħ(プランク定数を2πで割ったもの)を単位としてl1,l2,……とすると,パリティはとなる。ドイツのラポルテOtto Laporteは原子からの電気二極放射に際し,liが奇数だけ変化するという規則を見いだしていたが(ラポルテの規則),これを用いれば原子の準位をパリティによって分類することができる。…
