Norman Ramsey Jr. was an American physicist known for his significant contributions to the field of atomic physics and quantum mechanics. Born on August 27, 1915, he won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1989 for his work on the development of methods for the precise measurement of molecular beams and for pioneering techniques in atomic clocks. Ramsey's work has had a profound impact on the fields of metrology and the development of technologies such as GPS, which rely on precise timing measurements.
