Vladimir Krainov

Vladimir Krainov is a physics topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Vladimir Krainov rather than just read about it. In short: Vladimir Pavlovich Krainov (Russian: Владимир Павлович Крайнов) (born 28 December 1938) is a full professor in department of theoretical physics of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology in Dolgoprudny. Krainov's research concentrated on physics of atoms and molecules in intense laser fields and on the evolution of clusters in super-intense laser pulses.

Key takeaways

Vladimir Krainov belongs to physics; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Vladimir Krainov to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Vladimir Krainov from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Vladimir Pavlovich Krainov (Russian: Владимир Павлович Крайнов) (born 28 December 1938) is a full professor in department of theoretical physics of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology in Dolgoprudny. Krainov's research concentrated on physics of atoms and molecules in intense laser fields and on the evolution of clusters in super-intense laser pulses. Krainov authored books on Approximation Methods in Quantum Mechanics (with Arkady Migdal), 1973), Atoms in Strong Light Fields, Fundamentals of Nonlinear Optics of Atomic Gases and Multiphoton Processes in Atoms (with Nikolay Delone, 1985, 1988, 1994), Radiative Processes in Atomic Physics (with H. R. Reiss and B. M. Smirnov, 1997).

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Vladimir Krainov

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Vladimir Krainov claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In physics, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Vladimir Krainov before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Vladimir Krainov ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Vladimir Krainov

In research: Vladimir Krainov appears in physics research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Vladimir Krainov in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Vladimir Krainov is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1938 births, 20th-century Russian physicists, Academic staff of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Vladimir Krainov outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
