Elitzur, 2009

Avshalom Cyrus Elitzur (Hebrew אבשלום כורש אליצור; born 30 May 1957, Iran) is an Israeli physicist and philosopher.

Biography

Avshalom Elitzur was a senior lecturer at the Unit for Interdisciplinary Studies, Bar-Ilan University, Ramat-Gan, Israel. He is noted for the Elitzur–Vaidman bomb-testing problem in quantum mechanics, which was publicised by Roger Penrose in his book Shadows of the Mind.

Elitzur received no formal university training before obtaining his PhD. His parents emigrated from Iran to Israel in 1959 when he was two years old, and settled in Rehovot. He left school at the age of sixteen and began working as a laboratory technician at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot.

In 1987, he published his book: Into the Holy of Holies: Psychoanalytic Insights into the Bible and Judaism. During that same year, he was invited to present an unpublished manuscript on quantum mechanics at an international conference in Temple University in Philadelphia. Consequently, he was later invited by Yakir Aharonov of Tel Aviv University, the doyen of physicists in Israel, to write a doctoral thesis on the subject. He was the chief editor of natural sciences in Encyclopaedia Hebraica. In 2008, he was a visiting professor at Joseph Fourier University.

Elitzur is the founder of the Iyar, The Israeli Institute for Advanced Research.[1]

Awards

In 2010, Elitzur won the Noetic Medal of Conscioousness and Brain Research for his contributions to cosmology of mind and Quantum Theory.[2]
