Louis Victor de Broglie was a French physicist who made significant contributions to the quantum theory. In his 1924 PhD thesis, he postulated the wave nature of electrons and suggested that all matter has wave properties, a concept known as wave-particle duality. This discovery earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1929. The unit of measurement for the momentum of a particle, expressed in terms of its wavelength, is known as the de Broglie wavelength in his honor.
