Ettore Majorana
Ettore Majorana was an Italian theoretical physicist known for his contributions to quantum mechanics and particle physics. He is best remembered for predicting the existence of Majorana fermions, particles that are their own antiparticles, a concept that has gained renewed interest in the field of quantum computing. His work laid the groundwork for the theoretical framework that underpins current research in topological quantum computing.
Born on Aug 05, 1906 (118 years old)
