Abstract

We recount the life, work, and legacy of the theoretical physicist Roy Glauber (1925-2018). Admitted to Harvard at age sixteen, called upon to participate in the Manhattan Project at age eighteen, and appointed to the Harvard Physics faculty at age twenty-nine, Glauber is credited with seminal contributions to three separate fields of physics: nuclear scattering, statistical physics, and foundational work in quantum optics, which earned him the 2005 Nobel Prize in Physics. Over decades, Glauber was also a dedicated teacher of high-school, college, and graduate students. His pedagogical gifts are reflected in his lucid papers that read as if they were written yesterday.
