Detlev Buchholz

Detlev Buchholz is a theoretical physicist at Göttingen University. He investigates quantum field theory, especially algebraic quantum field theory. His contributions include the concept of infraparticles.

Using the methods of Tomita–Takesaki theory he obtained the split property, a strong result about the locality of the theory, from nuclearity conditions of the theory ^[1] .^[2]

In 2008 he won the Max Planck Medal. It is awarded annually by the Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft (German: German Physical Society)
