Yigal Meir (20 November 1957) is the Graham Beck professor of Quantum Science and Technology at Ben Gurion University, specializing in condensed matter;[1] in particular mesoscopic physics, disordered systems and strongly correlated materials. Among his achievements is the derivation of the Meir-Wingreen Formula,[2] and solving the 0.7 anomaly puzzle[3] in quantum point contacts.
