Albert Tavkhelidze (16 December 1930 - 27 February 2010) was a Georgian theoretical physicist whose work contributed to high-energy physics and the development of ideas used in quark theory.
Quantum context
Tavkhelidze is associated with early work on an additional quantum number for quarks, later understood as color. Color charge became a central concept in Physics:Quantum chromodynamics, the gauge theory of the strong interaction.
His work belongs to the historical development of quantum field theory and particle physics, where internal symmetries organize hadrons, quarks, and gluons.
