Richard Phillips Feynman (/ ˈ f aɪ n m ə n /; May 11, 1918 – February 15, 1988) was an American theoretical physicist.He is best known for his work in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics, the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, and in particle physics, for which he proposed the parton model.

Gari Clifford – British-American physicist, biomedical engineer, academic, researcher; John Cockcroft – U.K. (1897–1967) Nobel laureate; Claude Cohen-Tannoudji – France (born 1933) Nobel laureate; Arthur Compton – United States (1892–1962) Nobel laureate; Karl Compton – United States (1887–1954) Edward Condon – United States ...
Building on de Broglie's approach, modern quantum mechanics was born in 1925, when the German physicists Werner Heisenberg, Max Born, and Pascual Jordan [41] [42] developed matrix mechanics and the Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger invented wave mechanics and the non-relativistic Schrödinger equation as an approximation of the generalised ...
Leonard Susskind (/ ˈ s ʌ s k ɪ n d /; born June 16, 1940) [2] [3] is an American theoretical physicist, Professor of theoretical physics at Stanford University and founding director of the Stanford Institute for Theoretical Physics. His research interests are string theory, quantum field theory, quantum statistical mechanics and quantum ...
A legendary debate took place in Brussels in 1927 between Bohr and the celebrated German-born theoretical physicist Albert Einstein during the fifth Solvay Conference (the most important annual ...
[18] [19] Wheeler did not pursue this idea, but in the 1940s Werner Heisenberg developed the idea of the S-matrix into an important tool in elementary particle physics. [ 18 ] In 1938 Wheeler joined Edward Teller in examining Bohr's liquid drop model of the atomic nucleus ; [ 20 ] they presented their results at a meeting of the American ...
