Anthony Leggett

Sir Anthony James Leggett , (March 26th 1938), is a physicist américano - British, Nobel Prize of physics in 2003.

It is born with Camberwell, a district of London. Its academic works start with the Balliol College in 1955 then with the Merton College. It carries out its post-doctoral research with the Université of Illinois with Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). Of return in England he teaches with the Université of Sussex of 1967 with 1982. Leggett accepts then a post of professor with the UIUC, it obtains the dual nationality américano-British and settles with the the United States.

Leggett is a specialist in the physics of the low temperatures, its work on the Superfluidité is rewarded by a Nobel Prize for physics in 2003 “for contributions pionnières to the theory for the Supraconducteur S and Superfluide S”.

He is member of several learned societies, the National Academy off Sciences, the American Philosophical Society, the American Academy off Arts and Sciences, the Academy of Science of Russia (foreign member), the Royal Society, the American Physical Society, and the American Institute off Physics.

Its current research relates to the Supraconductivité of copper oxides, the superfluidity of degenerated atomic gases and the conceptual questions in the foundations of the quantum Mécanique.
