The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2012 | Sir John B. Gurdon, Shinya Yamanaka

for the discovery that mature cells can be reprogrammed to become pluripotent

The Nobel Prize in Physics 2012 | Serge Haroche, David J. Wineland

for ground-breaking experimental methods that enable measuring and manipulation of individual quantum systems

Here is an article about the French scientist Serge Haroche who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2012. He is originally from Morocco.

There is no national science, just as there is no national multiplication table; what is national is no longer science.

~ Anton Pavlovich Chekhov

Cohen-Tannoudji is one of the three co-authors of the classic two volume tome Quantum Mechanics.

There is no better reference texts for non-relativistic QM.

I agree that there is no national science, as science became so democratic that American universities have more foreign born science and engineering graduate students than ever. Perhaps the majority in many schools. I just wanted to mention the French culture.


A century ago, a relatively small number of schools in the world had near monopoly status in cutting-edge knowledge, but currently even in the most remote schools in every part of the world there is significant science and technology in progress.

I routinely got help by email from all over the world. Without this help I would not have been able to do anything.

I do have the two volumes of Cohen-Tannoudji on QM, as well as his other books. But there are many other non-relativistic QM books that are also very insightful.

Cohen-Tannoudji et al was our main text. I agree that there's lots of other good books: Davydov, Messiah, J.J Sakurai, and Landau and Lifshitz along with Dirac's monograph come to mind.
