Abstract

Cécile DeWitt-Morette passed away on 8 May 2017 in Austin, Texas. She is perhaps best known for establishing the Les Houches School of Physics, located in the French Alps, and for having thus contributed greatly to the development of physics during the second half of the 20th century. Over the years the school attracted prominent teachers, and many students later became prominent scientists in their own right. Recent Nobel laureate Kip Thorne attended Les Houches first as a student and then as a lecturer; he is one of 50 participants who have earned a Nobel Prize or Fields Medal.

Max Born

Nevill Francis Mott

Max Born was a scientist of the greatest distinction who presided over the Göttingen school of theoretical physics in its most famous days, when from 1925 onwards a brilliant group suddenly saw its way to formulate a set of laws for the behaviour of inanimate matter which has served us well up to the present time. This set of laws, which from the very beginning was called quantum mechanics and for part of which Born was awarded the Nobel prize much later (in 1954), is what he will be remembered for and what he would probably have wanted to be remembered for.

Nobel spotlight falls on optics

Edwin Cartlidge

The 2005 Nobel Prize for Physics has been awarded to the theorist who developed the first complete quantum theory of light and to two experimentalists who pushed laser-based spectroscopy to new levels of precision. The laureates' work has been influential in many areas of atomic physics, optics and metrology.

Laudatio for E. C. G. SUDARSHAN On his 75th Birth Day. Jaca, (HU), Spain, September 18, 2006

Luis J. Boya

The scientific career of E. C. G. Sudarshan is reported, with some biographical notes to frame the results. His research and teaching achievements span more than fifty years, and he has been Professor of Physics at the University of Texas at Austin since 1969, where he is still quite active and taking up students. Symmetry, in its multiple aspects, is perhaps the feature more persistent in his whole work; also the complex relations between classical and quantum realities permeates most of his mature- period papers.

About Roy Glauber

Břetislav Friedrich, Daniel Kleppner, Dudley R. Herschbach

Abstract We recount the life, work, and legacy of the theoretical physicist Roy Glauber (1925–2018). Admitted to Harvard at age 16, called upon to participate in the Manhattan Project at age eighteen, and appointed to the Harvard Physics faculty at age 29, Glauber is credited with seminal contributions to three separate fields of physics: nuclear scattering, statistical physics, and foundational work in quantum optics, which earned him the 2005 Nobel Prize in Physics. Over decades, Glauber was also a dedicated teacher of high‐school, college, and graduate students. His pedagogical gifts are reflected in his lucid papers that read as if they were written yesterday. Key points perspective on the life, work, and legacy of the 2005 Physics Nobel laureate Roy Glauber (1925–2018) impact of Glauber's contributions on large swaths of physics, from nuclear to optical to condensed matter Glauber's work in quantum optics has nurtured burgeoning areas of quantum science and engineering
