Note: there is a persistent misconception out there that Weiskopf would have studied under Wigner in Göttingen. However, according to Weisskopf himself (see the transcript of the Oral history) Wigner wasn't even there when he arrived in Göttingen; his association with Wigner started later on. The oral history does mention Franck, next to Born as senior professor.
