Scientists who never won a Nobel Prize

Freeman Dyson is a glaring miss here.

Feynman and Schwinger shared the 1965 Nobel in Physics for their respective perspectives on Quantum Electrodynamics. But it was Dyson who unified Feynman's diagram approach with Schwinger's field model.

Shinichirō Tomonaga also shared the 1965 Nobel for this work, and his work was much more fundamental to QED than Dyson.

The Nobel Prize can go to at most three people.

Thanks for pointing that out. My apologies for missing Tomonaga. Was going on my anecdotal memory, should have researched.

Could you elaborate on about why Tomonaga work was more fundamental to QED than Dyson? Thank you
