Alongside him on the list of laureates are several scientists who also worked in mathematics. Quantum physics is one of the fields widely represented among them: Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck was honored in 1918 "for the discovery of energy quanta", Werner Heisenberg in 1932 "for the creation of quantum mechanics," followed by Wolfgang Pauli in 1945, Max Born in 1954, and Julian Seymour Schwinger and Richard Phillips Feynman in 1965.
Furthermore, many of these Nobel-winning pioneers were honored for discoveries in atomic or subatomic physics, including Niels Bohr in 1922, Louis de Broglie in 1929, Erwin Schrödinger and Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac in 1933, and Eugene Paul Wigner in 1963.
Other Nobel Prizes went to Hendrik Antoon Lorentz in 1902 for work in electromagnetism, John William Strutt Rayleigh in 1904 for studies in the physics of gases, Wilhelm Wien in 1911 for thermodynamics, Lev Davidovitch Landau in 1962 for discoveries in condensed-matter physics, and Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar in 1983 for work in astrophysics. Beyond the laureates' multidisciplinary expertise, such variety highlights the deep intertwining of mathematics and physics.
