There were three winners for the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965: Sin-Itiro Tomonaga, Julian Schwinger, and Richard P. Feynman. Here is the presentation speech given by Professor Ivar Waller, member of the Nobel Committee for Physics.

The speech begins with these remarks:

"The electrons of an atom move according to the laws of quantum mechanics established in 1925 and the next following years. For the hydrogen atom, which has only one electron and consequently is the simplest atom to investigate theoretically, the calculation of the motion of the electron in the electric field of the nucleus led to results of such accuracy that 20 years elapsed until any error of the theory could be found experimentally..."
