Арнольд Иоганнес Вильгельм Зоммерфельд. Немецкий физик-теоретик и математик. Четверо его студентов – Вернер Гейзенберг, Вольфганг Паули, Петер Дебай и Ганс Бете получили Нобелевскую премию. Ее же получили и трое его аспирантов: Лайнус Полинг, Исидор Раби и Макс фон Лауэ. Он сам был номинирован на нобелевку 81 раз. И не получил ее.

Как теперь известно из нобелевских архивов, причиной неудач Зоммерфельда была критика его работ со стороны одного из членов Нобелевского комитета

Arnold Johannes Wilhelm Sommerfeld ForMemRS^[1] (5 December 1868 – 26 April 1951) was a German theoretical physicist who pioneered developments in atomic and quantum physics, and also educated and groomed a large number of students for the new era of theoretical physics. He was nominated a record 81 times for the Nobel Prize,^[2] and served as PhD supervisor for more Nobel prize winners in physics than any other supervisor before or since. He introduced the 2nd quantum number (azimuthal quantum number) and the 4th quantum number (spin quantum number). He also introduced the fine-structure constant, and pioneered X-ray wave theory.

Max Born believed Sommerfeld's abilities included the "discovery and development of talents."[35] Albert Einstein told Sommerfeld: "What I especially admire about you is that you have, as it were, pounded out of the soil such a large number of young talents."[35] Sommerfeld's style as a professor and institute director did not put distance between him and his colleagues and students. He invited collaboration from them, and their ideas often influenced his own views in physics. He entertained them in his home and met with them in cafes before and after seminars and colloquia. Sommerfeld owned an alpine ski hut to which students were often invited for discussions of physics as demanding as the sport.
