A Man of Boundless Search - 105th Anniversary of the Birth of Nobel Prize-Winning Physicist Alexander Prokhorov

Abstract

I had the great happiness to work with the outstanding Russian physicist Alexander Mikhailovich Prokhorov for more than 30 years, and I never ceased to be surprised by the manifestations of his genius, each time discovering new facets of the teacher's numerous talents. What first of all is remembered when he has not been with us for almost 20 years and the acute emotions of parting have long since subsided? An incredibly developed sense of intuition, an amazing ability to find the right solutions, an acute sense of a new, fundamentally significant for jumping into the future, humanity.
