Philip W. Anderson

1923–2020

Philip W. Anderson (1923–2020) was a Nobel Prize-winning physicist whose work in condensed matter theory, including Anderson localization and the Anderson-Higgs mechanism, reshaped modern physics. He was a sharp critic of reductionism and a champion of emergent phenomena, influencing fields from superconductivity to complexity theory.
