Gregor Wentzel is a name associated with a theoretical physicist known for his contributions to quantum mechanics, particularly in the context of scattering theory and wave functions. The Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) approximation, a method used in quantum mechanics to find approximate solutions to linear differential equations, is named after him (along with colleagues Friedrich W. J. Kramers and Léon Brillouin).
