Edward Uhler Condon (March 2, 1902 – March 26, 1974) was an American nuclear physicist, a pioneer in quantum mechanics, and a participant during World War II in the development of radar and, very briefly, of nuclear weapons as part of the Manhattan Project.
Biografia e carriera. Condon ha frequentato la scuola secondaria a Oakland in California e si è diplomato nel 1918. Dopo avere lavorato per tre anni come giornalista, si è iscritto all' Università di Berkeley, dove nel 1924 ha conseguito il Bachelor of Arts. Ha proseguito gli studi nella stessa università e nel 1926 ha conseguito il Ph.D..
