<p>Quantum theory of diatomic molecules = Built with Max Born Theory of black holes = Published with Hartland Snyder Los Alamos laboratory = Headed the development Born-Oppenheimer approximation = His most cited article</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Played a smaller role compared to Einstein and Schrodinger = Did not make revolutionary discoveries on his own Grasped quantum theory possibilities like no other = Significance of quantum theory understood fully by him Conducted theoretical and experimental research = Explored new properties of matter and radiation Published many reports on matter and radiation = Research results documented extensively</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Black holes = Used Einstein's general relativity Quantum theory of diatomic molecules = Simplified electron energy level calculations Los Alamos laboratory = Responsible for nuclear charge design Born-Oppenheimer approximation = Separated nuclear and electronic motion</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Max Born = Built quantum theory of diatomic molecules together Hartland Snyder = Published theory of black holes together Einstein = Used general relativity in black hole theory No one else = Grasped quantum theory possibilities fully</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Headed Los Alamos laboratory = Development of nuclear charge design Theorist and experimenter = Explored new properties of matter and radiation Author of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation = Allowed separation of nuclear and electronic motion Research collaborator with Max Born and Hartland Snyder = Contributed to quantum theory and black hole research</p> Signup and view all the answers
