Herbert Kroemer citáty

Herbert Kroemer je profesor elektrotechniky na University of California, Santa Barbara. Získal Ph.D. v teoretické fyzice na Univerzitě v Göttingenu a poté pracoval v oblasti polovodičů. V roce 2000 získal spolu s Žoresem Alferovem Nobelovu cenu za fyziku „za vývoj heterogenních polovodičových struktur používaných ve vysokorychlostní elektronice a optoelektronice“. Za stejný rok získal Nobelovu cenu také Jack Kilby za podíl na vynálezu integrovaného obvodu.

V roce 2003 se stal členem Národní akademie věd Spojených států amerických. Wikipedia

Herbert Kroemer: Citáty anglicky

“The principal applications of any sufficiently new and innovative technology always have been—and will continue to be—applications created by that technology.”

“Whenever I came to him (Fritz Sauter) with a pure physics idea, he would invariably say, with slight sarcasm: "But Mr. Kroemer, you ought to be able to formulate this mathematically! " If I came to him with a math formulation, I would get, in a similar tone: "But Mr. Kroemer, that is just math, what is the physics?" After a few encounters of this kind, you got the idea: You had to be able to go back and forth with ease. Yet, in the last analysis, concepts took priority over formalism, the latter was simply an (indispensable) means to an end.”

“Ultimately, progress in applications is not deterministic, but opportunistic, exploiting for new applications whatever new science and technology happen to be coming along.”
