Alexei Alexeyevich Abrikosov is a Russian, Soviet, and American physicist who is well known for his pioneering work in the field of condensed matter physics. A Nobel laureate, he was awarded the Physics Nobel Prize along with Vitaly Lazarevich Ginzburg and Anthony James Leggett for their contributions to the theory of superconductors and superfluids.

Personal Life

Early Life

Abrikosov was born in Moscow, USSR on June 25, 1928, to Professor Alexei Ivanovich Abrikosov and Dr. Fani Abrikosoca, two well respected physicians. Abrikosov's father was a pathologist and full member of the Soviet Academy of Sciences and Academy of Medical Sciences. As a result of growing up under two scientists, Abrikosov received a lot of early exposure to the field of science, which peaked his interest and allowed him to begin his studies at a very young age. He was exceptionally bright as a child.
