Joseph Gerard Polchinski (* 16. Mai 1954 in White Plains in New York; † 2. Februar 2018 [1]) war ein US-amerikanischer theoretischer Physiker, der sich vor allem mit Stringtheorie beschäftigte.
Polchinski's contributions to theoretical physics include a modern formulation of renormalization theory and some of the original work on the string landscape. He is best known for his discovery of D-branes, extended structures that appear to be central to the mathematics and physics of string theory. He is also the author of a widely used two ...

6. Feb. 2020 · Abstract: Joseph Polchinski (1954-2018), one of the the leading theoretical physicists of the past 50 years, was an exceptionally broad and deep thinker. He made fundamental contributions to quantum field theory, advancing the role of the renormalization group, and to cosmology, addressing the cosmological constant problem ...

Joe Polchinski was a theoretical physicist’s theoretical physicist. The world is a little less insightful without him around. Perhaps the single biggest idea Joe contributed in this way was the importance of “D-branes” in string theory.
Joseph Polchinski, a prominent theoretical physicist and leading researchers in string theory, died on February 2 at age 63. He was a professor of physics at the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB) and a Permanent Member of the Kavli Institute of Theoretical Physics.
