(b.) May 11, 1918 — (d.) February 15, 1988
Description
Nobel Prize winner in Physics (1965), Feynman made landmark contributions to quantum electrodynamics, the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, and the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, as well as particle physics. He was also credited with pioneering the field of quantum computing and introducing the concept of nanotechnology.
Dr. Feynman also envisioned the hypercube architecture, a 12-D connection scheme for 4,096 chips for the Connection Machine while at Thinking Machines.
