Gerhard Heber
Gerhard Heber (born February 26, 1927 in Dresden ; † February 23, 2010 in Xanten ) was a German theoretical physicist .
Heber studied physics at the TH Dresden and the Friedrich Schiller University Jena from 1946 to 1950 , where he received his doctorate in 1951. From 1950 to 1953 he was a research assistant there and, after his habilitation in 1953, a lecturer. In 1956 he became professor for theoretical physics in Jena and in 1960 director of the institute for theoretical physics at the University of Leipzig . In 1963/64 he was at the United Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna. From 1966 to 1968 he was director of the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the TH Dresden and thereafter he was director of the physics section.
He dealt with quantum field theory, ferromagnetism and electron states in molecular crystals and wrote textbooks on quantum theory with Gerhard Weber .
Together with Paul Ziesche, Heber was the editor of the German edition of the classic textbook on theoretical physics by Lew Dawidowitsch Landau and Evgeni Michailowitsch Lifschitz .
