Fritz Wolfgang London (March 7, 1900–March 30, 1954) was a German-born American physicist for whom the London force is named. He was the first theoretical physicist who made the fundamental, and at the time controversial, suggestion that superfluidity is intrinsically related to the Einstein condensation of bosons, a phenomenon now known euphemistically as the Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC) although Bose had nothing to do with the theory of the condensation of bosons.
