Richard Feynman

QED, Feynman diagrams, and the first vision of quantum computing.

Feynman reformulated quantum mechanics and developed quantum electrodynamics (QED) — the theory describing how light and matter interact — earning the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965. His invention of Feynman diagrams gave physicists a simple visual language for calculating subatomic interactions that is still used universally today. Beyond QED, he made foundational contributions to superfluidity, parton physics, and was the first scientist to articulate the concept of quantum computing in 1981.
