Sir Anthony James Leggett KBE FRS HonFInstP[1] (born 26 March 1938) is a British–American theoretical physicist and professor emeritus at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC).[5] Leggett is widely recognised as a world leader in the theory of low-temperature physics, and his pioneering work on superfluidity was recognised by the 2003 Nobel Prize in Physics.[6] He has shaped the theoretical understanding of normal and superfluid helium liquids and strongly coupled superfluids.[7] He set directions for research in the quantum physics of macroscopic dissipative systems and use of condensed systems to test the foundations of quantum mechanics.[8][9]
