Claude Cohen-Tannoudji
Laser cooling of atoms, and the textbook every quantum student owns.
Claude Cohen-Tannoudji is a French physicist at the École normale supérieure in Paris. He is known for his experiments in laser cooling. He was the first to show that it is possible to cool far beyond the limit expected by sub-Doppler cooling, below the recoil temperature.

Claude Cohen-Tannoudji is alive, so there is one chart here rather than two. The death chart is cast for a documented moment of death and there is nothing to cast one for, which is the point: this site does not estimate either end.
