Alexei Alexeyevich Abrikosov (25 June 1928 - 29 March 2017) was a Soviet, Russian, and American theoretical physicist known for his theory of type-II superconductors and the Abrikosov vortex lattice.
Quantum context
Abrikosov showed how magnetic flux penetrates type-II superconductors in quantized vortices. This made vortex matter a concrete quantum many-body system, with macroscopic electromagnetic behavior tied to microscopic superconducting order.
His work is central to Physics:Quantum superconductivity, Physics:Quantum vortex, and condensed-matter applications of quantum field and many-body methods.
