소개

앤서니 레깃 경(영어: Sir Anthony James Leggett, KBE, FRS, 1938년 3월 26일 ~ 2026년 3월 8일)은 잉글랜드의 물리학자이다. 그는 저온 물리 분야에서 세계적으로 인정받고 있으며, 초유체 분야의 개척적인 연구로 2003년 노벨 물리학상을 받았다.

Sir Anthony James Leggett was a British–American theoretical physicist and professor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). Leggett was widely recognised as a world leader in the theory of low-temperature physics, and his pioneering work on superfluidity was recognised by the 2003 Nobel Prize in Physics. He shaped the theoretical understanding of normal and superfluid helium liquids and strongly coupled superfluids. He set directions for research in the quantum physics of macroscopic dissipative systems and use of condensed systems to test the foundations of quantum mechanics.
