Boris Altshuler

External Advisory Board

Boris Altshuler is a professor of theoretical physics at Columbia University, specializing in theoretical condensed matter physics. His research focuses on disordered electronic systems, including quantum interference corrections to electron transport, known as the Altshuler-Aronov corrections, and the theory of dephasing in weak localization, developed with Aronov. In collaboration with Boris Shklovskii, he contributed to the theory of level repulsion in disordered metals and has worked on universal conductance fluctuations. More recently, with Igor Aleiner, he has studied many-body localization, demonstrating that interacting many-body systems can remain localized, extending the concept of Anderson localization. In 2016, experimental confirmation of many-body localization was reported by Immanuel Bloch’s group in Munich.
