Abstract
The Eugene Feenberg Medal is awarded to Anthony J. Leggett in recognition o f his seminal contributions to Many-Body Physics, including the explanation of the remarkable properties of superfluid He-3 in the millikelvin regime, important results in Fermi-liquid theory applied to metals, fundamental ne w insights into macroscopic quantum coherence, elucidation of key aspects o f high-temperature superconductivity, and pioneering studies of the implica tions of Bose-Einstein condensation in atomic systems.
