II Rabi Prize
The II Rabi Prize of the American Physical Society is a prize for atomic , molecular or optical physics , which according II Rabi is named. It is endowed with $ 10,000, has been awarded every two years since 1991 and is intended for young researchers (the doctorate should not be more than 10 years ago).
He is not with the II Rabi Award of the IEEE to be confused.
