Elihu Abrahams (April 3, 1927 – October 18, 2018) was a theoretical physicist, specializing in condensed matter physics. Abrahams attended Brooklyn Technical High School, graduating in 1944. In 1947 Abrahams received his bachelor's degree and in 1952 his PhD, with Charles Kittel as thesis advisor, from the University of California, Berkeley with thesis Spin-lattice relaxation in ferromagnetics. In 1952–1953 he was a research associate in physics at UC Berkeley. He was in 1953–1955 a research associate and in 1955–1956 an assistant professor at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. In 1956 he became an assistant professor, then an associate professor, and in 1964 a full professor at Rutgers University.

Nach der Emeritierung wurde er 2008 wurde er Distinguished Adjunct Professor an der University of California, Los Angeles. 1979 bis 1982 war er Präsident des Aspen Center of Physics. 1997 bis 2000 stand er deren Board of Trustees vor. 1982 bis 1985 war er im Beratungsgremium des Institute for Theoretical Physics der University of California, Santa Barbara (Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics). Abrahams war unter anderem Gastprofessor und Gastwissenschaftler an der École Normale Supérieure in Paris, am Collège de France, der Universität Paris VI und in Orsay. Er befasste sich unter anderem mit Supraleitung (auch Hochtemperatursupraleitung), Magnetismus, Phasenübergängen, stark-korrelierten Elektronensystemen (quantenmechanisches Vielteilchenproblem), ungeordneter Materie (Anderson-Lokalisierung, hierarchische Dynamik in glasartigen Systemen). Abrahams war Mitglied der National Academy of Sciences (1987), der American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1999) und Fellow der American Physical Society (1964) und der American Association for the Advancement of Science. 1976 war er Guggenheim Fellow. 2019 erhielt er den Oliver E. Buckley Condensed Matter Prize für Pionierforschung in der Physik ungeordneter Festkörpermaterialien und Sprung-Leitung (Laudatio). Abrahams war seit 1953 mit Geulah Greenblatt (einer Tänzerin für Modern Dance, gestorben 1996) verheiratet und hat zwei Söhne.

In 1956 he became an assistant professor, then an associate professor, and in 1964 a full professor at Rutgers University. From 1979 to 1983, he was the president of the Aspen Center for Physics. In 1979 Abrahams, Philip W. Anderson, Donald Licciardello and T.V. Ramakrishnan published the highly influential paper "Scaling Theory of Localization: Absence of Quantum Diffusion in Two Dimensions" in Physical Review Letters 42. Often referred to as the "gang of four paper" in physics circles, the authors proposed new, precise predictions about the behavior of electrons in disordered materials. In 2003 the American Physical Society named it among the top-ten most often cited papers published in the Physical Review. Abrahams’ research is in theoretical condensed matter physics. His main interests concern the quantum-mechanical many-body problem in the presence of very strong particle-particle interactions. In this area, he has been using the techniques of quantum statistical mechanics and field theory to investigate the phase transitions and the transport and thermodynamic properties of a number of systems, including high-temperature cuprate superconductors, metals at the threshold of breakdown of Fermi-liquid behavior, iron pnictide superconductors, heavy-fermion metals, localized spins in metals, magnets with unusual spin correlations, and the disordered interacting electron fluid in two dimensions. In 1964 Abrahams was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society. He was a Guggenheim Fellow for the academic year 1986–1987. He was also elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1987, and to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1999. In 2018, he received the 2019 Oliver E. Buckley Condensed Matter Physics Prize for "pioneering research in the physics of disordered materials and hopping conductivity" together with Alexei L. Efros and Boris I. Shklovskii. (en)
