Biography

Carl Bender is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Mathematical physicist; asymptotic methods and PT-symmetric quantum mechanics

How & why

Bender is an American mathematical physicist at Washington University in St. Louis known for authoritative work on asymptotic and perturbative methods and for discovering the physical importance of parity–time (PT) symmetry in non-Hermitian quantum systems, for which he shared the Dannie Heineman Prize for Mathematical Physics. He is listed among Jews in Physics by the Jewish biographical database Jinfo.org; independent biographical confirmation of his Jewish identity was not otherwise found.
