Igor Mikhailovich Ternov (Russian: И́горь Миха́йлович Терно́в; November 11, 1921 — April 12, 1996) was a Russian theoretical physicist, known for discovery of new quantum effects in microscopic particle motion such as Dynamic Character of the Electron Anomalous Magnetic Moment, the Effect of Radiative Polarization of Electrons and Positrons in a Magnetic Field, and Quantum Fluctuations of Electron Trajectories in Accelerators.[1]

Biography

Igor Ternov graduated from Faculty of Physics of Moscow State University (MSU) in 1951, where he spent his entire career. Igor Ternov was one of the leading experts in the theory of synchrotron radiation.

He developed a new field, the theory of quantum processes in strong external fields, emerging from exact solutions of relativistic wave equations. He was the chairman of MSU Physical Society, the vice-rector of MSU, the head of Quantum Theory and of Theoretical Physics departments of the MSU Faculty of Physics.[1]

In 1976 he received the USSR State Prize (1976) for prediction and development of the effect of radiative polarization of electrons and positrons in a magnetic field. Igor Ternov was a member of the Soviet Communist Party, a vice-rector and secretary of buroe of Communist Party of the Physics Department of the Moscow State University.
