Jean-Pierre Vigier (January 16, 1920 - May 4, 2004) earned his Ph.D. in Mathematics from University of Geneva in 1946 and in 1948 was appointed assistant to Louis de Broglie, a position he held until the latter's retirement in 1962. Vigier was professor emeritus at in the Department of Gravitational Physics at Pierre et Marie Curie Universitat in Paris. He authored more than 300 scientific papers, and co-authored and edited a number of books and conference proceedings. He was a member of the editorial board of Physics Letters A, and was a proponent of the Stochastic Interpretation of quantum mechanics, which was based on the ideas of de Broglie and David Bohm. Politically, Vigier was an active supporter of communism throughout his life. Vigier was invited to be Einstein's assistant; but at the time because of his political controversy related to Vietnam the US State Department would not allow him entry into the United States.

Family

Vigier's brother, François, is a professor at Harvard University. Vigier's father was a professor of English, such that Vigier became fluent in English and French, his native language. Vigier has a son with André Jallon an executive at Renault in Belgium, named Adrien Vigier, who is studying for his PhD in Physics.
