As one of the top 250 most frequently cited physicists in the world, one of Dr. Thompson's greatest achievements has been in the realization that pressure was a particularly useful tuning parameter for discovering exotic quantum states in the 1980's. Since that time, it has been a continuing theme of research. He has been the recipient of numerous awards from the LANS, the Department of Energy, and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science for his work. Dr. Thompson was also honored with a 2014 Frank H. Spedding Award, which recognizes achievements in research on the science and technology of rare earths, and he has been featured in numerous editions of Who's Who in America, Who's Who in Science and Engineering, Who's Who in the West and Who's Who in the World.
