Notes:  For Jewish Laureates, the parenthetical numbers after the underlined/bolded name indicate the source:  (1) is the website “jewho.com” section on Nobels for 2002 and pages devoted to Physics. (2) is the book “The Nobel Prize” by Burton Feldman. (3) is the “us-israel.org” web site. (4) is the web site “yahoodi.com”. (5) is the book “Nobel Laureates 1901-2000” by Alan Symons. (6) is the web site “jinfo.org”.

For purposes of this category, the tally used in the text and tables includes only Jews identified by more than one source.  Thus of the above list, 44 are Jews by that standard, but Maria Goeppert Mayer (1963) is not counted even though jinfo.org notes that Edward Teller identified her as such on page 119 of his Memoirs.
