Fritz London discovered practical applications of quantum mechanics and is known primarily for his work with the explanation of the covalent bond in hydrogen. His theories regarding superconductivity and superfluids were also important contributions to...

1900-1954 German-born American physicist who, with Walter Heitler, devised the first quantum mechanical treatment of covalent bonding in hydrogen molecules. London and R. Eisenschitz employed quantum mechanics to calculate the force between atoms,...

Fritz Wolfgang London (March 7, 1900–March 30, 1954) was a German-born American theoretical physicist. London's early work with Heitler [1] on chemical bonding is now treated in any textbook on physical chemistry. This paper was the first to...
