Abstract

John Bardeen worked on the theory of solids throughout his physics career, winning twoNobel Prizes: the first in 1956 for the invention of the transistor with Walter Brattainand William Shockley; and the second in 1972 for the development with LeonCooper and J Robert Schrieffer of the Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer (BCS) theory ofsuperconductivity. The transistor made possible the information revolution; the BCStheory helped lay the microscopic foundation for the modern theory of condensed matterphysics.
