About the Author
Barry Simon is the IBM Professor of Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, Emeritus, at Caltech, known for his contributions in spectral theory, functional analysis, and nonrelativistic quantum mechanics, and including the connections to atomic and molecular physics. He has authored more than 400 publications on mathematics and physics. Simon's work has focused on broad areas of mathematical physics and analysis covering: quantum field theory, statistical mechanics, Brownian motion, random matrix theory, general nonrelativistic quantum mechanics, nonrelativistic quantum mechanics in electric and magnetic fields, the semi-classical limit, the singular continuous spectrum, random and ergodic Schrödinger operators, orthogonal polynomials, and non-selfadjoint spectral theory. Simon is a recently elected member (2019) of the National Academy of Science and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Simon is a recipient of the Henri Poincaré Prize (2012), the Bolyai Prize of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (2015), the Steele Prize for Lifetime achievements (2016), and the Dannie Heineman Prize for Mathematical Physics from the American Physical Society (2018). He is also a fellow of the American Mathematical Society and the American Physical Society.
