He invented a sorting algorithm which splits a list into two halves, sorts each half, and merges the two sublists back together.
This man developed a version of quantum mechanics based on separable Hilbert spaces, found a proof showing that matrix and wave mechanics are equivalent without the use of delta functions, and published a book entitled Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics. With Neddermeyer and Teller, he was a key designer of the implosion technique used in the first atomic bombs. This man found a simple method, using pairs of coin flips with different results, to generate randomness using a biased coin. He invented a sorting algorithm which splits a list into two halves, sorts each half, and merges the two sublists back together. For 10 points, name this mathematician and computer scientist who invented the merge sort and whose design of allocating the same memory to instructions and data is known as his namesake computer architecture.
