Martin Deutsch was an Austrian-American physicist at MIT who in 1951 discovered positronium — the short-lived bound state of an electron and a positron — a landmark confirmation of quantum electrodynamics. He was Jewish, the son of the pioneering psychoanalysts Felix and Helene Deutsch, and his family fled Nazi-threatened Europe, with Martin settling in the United States.
