J. Robert Oppenheimer

     J. Robert Oppenheimer, later known as the father of the atomic bomb, was born in
New York City on April 22, 1904.  He went to school at  the Ethical Cultural School in
New York.  After which, he went to Harvard for three years.  Oppenheimer graduated
summa cum laude in 1925.  Then J. Robert toured Europe for four years where he
established himself as a theoretical physicist.
     In 1926 in Cambridge, England, he wrote his first two papers.  The papers were on
the hydrogen atom and the quantum mechanics of molecular band spectra.  They showed
how certain molecular and atomic features could be derived.  Oppenheimer then went to
the University of Gottingen in Germany where he studied under Max Born.  They created
the Born-Oppenheimer method for handling vibrational, rotational, and electronical
degrees of freedom of molecules, now one of the classical parts of quantum theory.  In
1927 he got his doctor's degree from Gottingen.  He stayed in Europe until 1929.
     During the years of 1929 through 1942 he taught and researched at the University
of California, Berkeley, and the California Institute of Technology in Pasedena.  He
investigated holes, nuclear forces, electron-photon showers in cosmic rays, and neutron
stars.  At both  he built large schools of theoretical physics from his following of
postdoctoral researchers and graduate students.
