&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Fritz Wolfgang London&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (7 March 1900 - 30 March 1954) was a German-born physicist whose work connected quantum mechanics with chemical bonding, intermolecular forces, and superconductivity. He is especially known for explaining dispersion forces as a quantum effect and, with his brother Heinz London, for formulating the London equations of superconductivity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Quantum chemistry ==&lt;br /&gt;
London&amp;#039;s treatment of intermolecular attraction showed how temporary quantum fluctuations in electron distributions can produce attractive forces between neutral atoms and molecules. These London dispersion forces became a standard part of physical chemistry and molecular physics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Physics:Quantum valence bond theory]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Superconductivity ==&lt;br /&gt;
The London equations gave an early phenomenological quantum description of superconductors. They helped explain the Meissner effect and guided later microscopic theories of superconductivity.&lt;br /&gt;
