Felix Bloch Biographical . F elix Bloch was born in Zurich, Switzerland, on October 23, 1905, as the son of Gustav Bloch and Agnes Bloch (née Mayer). From 1912 to 1918 he attended the public primary school and subsequently the “Gymnasium” of the Canton of Zurich, which he left in the fall of 1924 after having passed the “Matura”, i.e. the final examination which entitled him to attend ...

Felix Bloch was born in Zurich, Switzerland, the son of a merchant, and studied at ETH and elsewhere. When the Nazis took power in 1933, he left Europe to work at Stanford University. After becoming an American citizen, he worked on atomic energy in Los Alamos during World War II and later on radar at Harvard University.
Felix Bloch (1905–1983, Swiss-American) was born in Zurich, Switzerland, on 23 October 1905. He attended the Federal Institute of Technology (Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule) in Zurich to study engineering, changing after one year's study to the Division of Mathematics and Physics at the same institution to study physics.
The waves that Felix discovered have been called "Bloch Waves" or "Bloch States," and the concept of these waves turns up everywhere in the theory of condensed matter. Incidentally, the wave solution that Felix discovered was a version of what was known in mathematics as Floquet's Theorem and had been used previously by physicists without ...
