Fritz Haake
Fritz Haake (born August 5, 1941 in Königsberg (Prussia) ; † November 18, 2019 ) was a German theoretical physicist .
Career
Haake went to school in Passau , Stuttgart and Bonn and from 1960 studied physics in Stuttgart, Berlin and Paris with a diploma at the University of Stuttgart in 1965. 1964/65 he received a scholarship from the German National Academic Foundation.
In 1968 he received his doctorate from Wolfgang Weidlich in Stuttgart on the subject of studying the non-Markoff behavior of damped systems with the help of a master's equation . From 1967 to 1969 he was an assistant at his chair. As a post-doctoral student , he worked with Roy Glauber at Harvard University in 1970/71 and completed his habilitation in Stuttgart in 1972 ( Statistical treatment of open systems by generalized master equation ).
Since 1973 he was a full professor for theoretical physics at the University of Duisburg-Essen (at that time the University of Essen). From 2006 he was Professor Emeritus there and since 2010 Senior Professor.
He was visiting professor at Harvard University (1976), at Cornell University (1980/81), at the École normal supérieure (1992/93), at the University of Innsbruck (1998/99) and the Waikato University in Hamilton ( New Zealand).
During his time in Stuttgart in the 1960s, Haake dealt with the physics of lasers as quantum mechanical non-equilibrium systems , partly with his teacher Wolfgang Weidlich, with whom he also published on the quantum mechanical measurement process. Later he dealt in particular with quantum chaos , about which he wrote a monograph.
From 1994 to 2002 he was spokesman for the Collaborative Research Center for Disorder and Major Fluctuations at the Universities of Bochum, Düsseldorf and Essen.
From 1998 to 2002 he was a member of the scientific advisory board of the École normal supérieure and since 1999 of the advisory board of the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems in Dresden. He received the Alexander von Humboldt Research Award from the Society for Science in Poland and in 2003 the Marian Smoluchowski Emil Warburg Physics Award from the German and Polish Physical Society.
Haake died on November 18, 2019 at the age of 78.
