  Louis, 7th duc de Broglie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Louis-Victor-Pierre-Raymond, 7th duc de Broglie, generally known as Louis de Broglie (August 15, 1892–March 19, 1987), was a French physicist and Nobel Prize laureate.
In his later career, Louis de Broglie worked to develop a causal explanation of wave mechanics, in opposition to the wholly probabilistic models which dominate quantum mechanical theory.
Louis de Broglie became a member of the Académie des sciences in 1933, and was the academy's perpetual secretary from 1942.

 Broglie, Louis Victor, duc de. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
It was known from the earlier quantum theory that light waves sometimes exhibited a particlelike behavior.
De Broglie hypothesized (1924) that particles should also exhibit certain wavelike properties, a prediction that led to the development of wave mechanics, a form of quantum mechanics.
The existence of these matter waves was confirmed experimentally in 1927, and de Broglie received the 1929 Nobel Prize in Physics for his theory.

 Charles-Louis-Victor, prince de Broglie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Born in Paris, the eldest son of Victor-François, 2nd duc de Broglie, the prince de Broglie attained the rank of maréchal de camp in the army.
Since the old duc de Broglie survived him, the prince de Broglie's eldest son, Victor, eventually became the fourth duc de Broglie.
The prince's dying admonition to his little son was to remain faithful to the principles of the French Revolution, however unjust and ungrateful it seemed then to be.

 Louis de Broglie - Biography
Prince Louis-Victor de Broglie of the French Academy, Permanent Secretary of the Academy of Sciences, and Professor at the Faculty of Sciences at Paris University, was born at Dieppe (Seine Inférieure) on 15th August, 1892, the son of Victor, Duc de Broglie and Pauline d'Armaillé.
The incumbent of the chair of theoretical physics at the Faculty of Sciences at the University of Paris since 1932, Louis de Broglie runs a course on a different subject each year at the Institut Henri Poincaré, and several of these courses have been published.
After crowning Louis de Broglie's work on two occasions, the Academie des Sciences awarded him in 1929 the Henri Poincaré medal (awarded for the first time), then in 1932, the Albert I of Monaco prize.

His brother Maurice de Broglie was at that time carrying out experimental work on X-rays and this proved a considerable interest to de Broglie during the first few years of the 1920s during which he worked for his doctorate (O’Connor & Robertson).
In 1933 de Broglie was elected to the Académie des Sciences becoming Permanent Secretary for the mathematical sciences in 1942 (O’Connor & Robertson).
The central question in de Broglie's life was whether the statistical nature of atomic physics reflects an ignorance of the underlying theory or whether statistics is all that can be known (Rueff).

 Wave Mechanics; Prince Louis de Broglie
De Broglie noted that relativity theory predicts that, when such a particle is set in motion, its total relativistic energy will increase, tending to infinity as the speed of light is approached.
A consequence of de Broglie's reasoning is that a phase wave, often referred to as the "pilot" wave, appears to accompany the particle.
Given de Broglie's assumptions, quantum mechanics, which is to say the study of the behavior and interpretation of the phase wave, is the study of an inherently relativistic phenomenon.

 Broglie, Louis-Victor (-Pierre-Raymond), 7{sup e} duc de
Broglie was the second son of a member of the French nobility.
In choosing science as a profession, Louis de Broglie broke with family tradition, as had his brother Maurice (from whom, after his death, Louis inherited the title of duc).
Broglie's interest in what he called the "mysteries" of atomic physics--namely, unsolved conceptual problems of the science--was aroused when he learned from his brother about the work of the German physicists Max Planck and Albert Einstein, but the decision to take up the profession of physicist was long in coming.

 Quantum Physics: Louis de Broglie: Confirming de Broglie's Matter Waves / WaveLength of Quantum Physics Biography
Louis de Broglie's realization that standing waves exist at discrete frequencies and thus energies is obviously true and important to Quantum Mechanics, yet he continued with the error of the particle concept and thus imagined particles moving in a wavelike manner!
In 1933 de Broglie was elected to the Académie des Sciences becoming Permanent Secretary for the mathematical sciences in 1942.
It was this apparent incompatibility between the tendency of the relativistic energy to increase and the quantum energy to decrease that troubled de Broglie.

In 1924 Louis de Broglie, an imaginative French physicist, asserted that material particles would behave as waves under certain conditions, and vice versa.
It might surprise you that the de Broglie wavelength associated with photons is equal to the usual electromagnetic wavelength.
Ordinary objects, such as balls and bullets, also have de Broglie waves associated with them, but the wavelengths are so small that they can be neglected.

In 1923, Louis De Broglie (1892-1960) used Einstein's mass-energy equation and Planck's quantum theory to achieve an expression describing the wave nature of a particle.
Einstein's support for De Broglie inspired Erwin Schrödinger to establish wave mechanics.
The development of this system into one involving indeterminacy did not meet with Einstein's approval, however, because it was expressed in terms of probabilities and not definite values.
