Barry Simon is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Mathematical physics; Schrodinger operators
Born in New York City into a Jewish family, Simon studied at Harvard and Princeton and became a professor at Caltech. A prolific mathematical physicist, he made deep and wide-ranging contributions to the rigorous theory of Schrödinger operators, spectral theory and statistical mechanics, and co-authored the influential multi-volume 'Methods of Modern Mathematical Physics.' His work brought mathematical rigor to quantum mechanics and shaped how physicists and mathematicians analyze quantum systems.
