Nicim Zagury, Jewish Brazilian physicist (Rio de Janeiro 09 March 1934 –

Gained international recognition for his work on quantum optics

Predicted the existence of ressonance in mesons and the K’ meson existence (1960)

With A.L.L. Videira & J. Tiomno. Possible existence of a new (K’) meson. Physical Review Letters 6:120, 1960

With P.L. Ferreira presented new models of quarks restriction (1977)

With S. Haroche & L. Davidovich proposed the counting method of non-quantum breakdown photons (1992)

With L. Davidovich & Aharonov introduced the notion of quantum walks

Quantum random walks. Phys. Rev. A 48(2):1687-90, 1993

First proposed an experimental solution employing particles entanglement for performing quantum teleportation  of atoms in laboratory

With L. Davidovich, M. Brune, J.M. Raimond & S. Haroche. Teleportation of an atomic state between two cavities using nonlocal microwave fields. Physical Review A 50(2):895-8, 1994

With L. Davidovich & M. Orszag. Quantum diagnosis of molecules: a method for measuring directly the Wigner function of a molecular vibrational state. Physical Review A 57(4):2544-9, 1998    

With P. Milman showed that a parameter governing the dynamics of two-level system is the ratio between the classical field’s intensity and the quantized mode detuning (2011)
