Ernst Pascual Jordan (German: ['j???da?n]; 18 October 1902 – 31 July 1980) was a German theoretical and mathematical physicist who made significant contributions to quantum mechanics and quantum field theory.
He contributed much to the mathematical form of matrix mechanics, and developed canonical anticommutation relations for fermions.
Jordan algebra is employed for and is still used in studying the mathematical and conceptual foundations of quantum theory, and has found other mathematical applications.
