The widetext
environment changes the formatting from two-column to one-column to better accommodate very long equations that are more easily read when typeset to the full width of the page:
\documentclass[twocolumn]{revtex4-1}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{widetext}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1]
\begin{widetext}
\[
a + b + c + d + e + f + g + h + i + j + k + l + m + n + o + p + q
\]
\end{widetext}
\lipsum[1]
\end{document}
Note that the lipsum
package and commands is used only for adding dummy text.
You can to use \rotatebox
and multicols
rather than landscape
and \twocolumn
.
