Born in Moscow on June 25, 1928, Alexei Alexeyevich Abrikosov built his career in condensed matter physics under the Soviet system, probing the strange states that emerge when you cool materials to the coldest realms imaginable. His theoretical contributions clarified the mechanics of superconductors and quantum phenomena at extreme low temperatures. In 2003 he shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with Vitaly Ginzburg and Anthony James Leggett for that body of work. He carried Soviet, Russian, and eventually American citizenship through a life that spanned the Iron Curtain and the thaw. He died on March 29, 2017.
