Mikhail Shifman is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Physicist; quantum chromodynamics and QCD sum rules
Shifman, from a Jewish family, trained in the Soviet Union before emigrating to the United States, where he is a professor at the University of Minnesota. He is a theorist of quantum chromodynamics, best known for co-developing the QCD sum rules (the SVZ method with Vainshtein and Zakharov) that let physicists calculate properties of hadrons, and for work on 'penguin' diagrams and supersymmetric field theory. His methods are standard in particle physics.
