Igor M. Ternov (November 11, 1921 — April 12, 1996, Moscow) 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".

Biography

Igor Ternov graduated from Moscow State University (MSU) in 1951 and spent his entire career there. One of the leading experts in the theory of synchrotron radiation theory, Igor Ternov was the author of more than 300 scientific papers, 5 monographs, and 10 textbooks. 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 Faculty of Physics at MSU.cite web| url = http://library.cern.ch/archives/biographies/Ternov_IM-199606.pdf
