Louis, 7th duc de Broglie

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.

Note on pronunciation

Note: in French "de Broglie" is pronounced {{IPA|}}, which sounds close to "de Broy". This is an alteration of the italian pronunciation of "gl" (sound like "ll"); the original name was "Broglia", and was gallicized in 1654 http://genealogy.euweb.cz/broglie/broglie3.html.
