Yes! Richard Phillips Feynman was a physicist who shared the Nobel Prize for his working quantum electrodynamics in 1965. Feynman was drafted to join the team working on the atom bomb. Much to the displeasure of the censors, his wife would send him letters in intricate code which they couldn't break. In an effort to show how lax security was, he would often break into high security safes, remove reports including the nine safes which contained all the information on the atom bomb. He would leave a note "I borrowed doc number 333" and sign it, Feynman-the safe cracker. Feynman served as a professor of Physics at Cal Tech and won numerous awards for his work. His books include a three volume Lectures in Physics. Feyman also served on the committee which investigated the Challenger disaster in 1986, ultimately coming up with the cause.
