Shmuel Fishman (1948-2019)

Shmuel Fishman was one of the founders of "Quantum Chaos". He is well known for providing the theoretical foundation for "dynamical localization", a dramatic way in which quantum-to-classical correspondence is broken. Over his long career Shmuel made numerous contributions  to our understanding of phase transitions, driven dynamical systems, and non-linear effects in atom optics. Shmuel was a caring and wonderful mentor, and many of his former students serve as faculty in universities in Israel and around the world. Shmuel Fishman died on Tuesday, 2 April, in Haifa, Israel.
