Richard Feynman Richard Feynman was an American theoretical physicist who shared the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics for his contributions to quantum electrodynamics (QED), developing the Feynman diagram — a graphical tool for visualizing particle interactions that transformed particle physics. He also contributed foundational work on superfluidity and was a member of the Manhattan Project. Equally famous for his irrepressible curiosity and ability to explain complex ideas with clarity and wit, his Feynman Lectures on Physics remain the most celebrated introductory physics texts ever written.
Overview
Richard Phillips Feynman was an American theoretical physicist. He shared the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics with Julian Schwinger and Shin'ichirō Tomonaga "for their fundamental work in quantum electrodynamics (QED), with deep-ploughing consequences for the physics of elementary particles". He is also known for his work in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, and the parton model. Feynman developed a pictorial representation scheme for the mathematical expressions describing the behavior of subatomic particles, which later became known as Feynman diagrams and is widely used.
