The Max Planck Medal was awarded to the Russian-American physicist Alexander Polyakov. It is considered the highest honor of the German Physical Society in theoretical physics. In the past, such outstanding scientists as Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Lev Landau and other physicists became its owners, TASS reports.

The scientist was awarded a prestigious award for research in the field of quantum field theory and statistical mechanics. Congratulations to Alexander Polyakov were expressed at the Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

An important part of the life and scientific activity of the scientist is connected with this institute. More than half a century ago, the graduate of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) became a Doctor of Science at the said scientific institution and headed the Department of Quantum Field Theory. Since 1989, Alexander Polyakov has also been a fellow of the American Princeton University.

Russian-American physicist Mikhail Lukin was awarded the Georgy Gamow Prize last fall.
