- The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica
Gregory Breit was an American physicist who supervised the early design of the first atomic bomb in what would later become the Manhattan Project.
Gregory Breit was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1939 and to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1951. He was a fellow of the American Physical Society, Physical Society of London, Institute of Radio Engi-neers, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Gregory Breit worked with many influential, twentieth century physicists including Merle Tuve, Eugene Wigner, Edward Condon, and John Wheeler. He researched nucleon properties, quantum electrodynamics, the theory of nuclear resonances, and heavy ion physics.
Gregory Breit was awarded the National Medal of Science for pioneering contributions to the theoretical understanding of nuclear structure and particle dynamics, for highly significant work in atomic and ionospheric physics, and for the inspiration he has given to several generations of American physicists.
