Paul Brumer is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Theoretical chemist known for coherent control of chemical reactions
Paul Brumer is a theoretical chemist at the University of Toronto who, with Moshe Shapiro, developed the theory of coherent control — using the quantum interference between laser-excitation pathways to steer chemical reactions toward a chosen product. This 'Brumer–Shapiro' approach founded a major branch of quantum control chemistry. Born in Brooklyn, he is listed among Jewish scientists by Jewish biographical compilations, though his family background is not detailed in public biographies.
