Career
He is a Chief Researcher at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics, Novosibirsk, and holds a Chair of Theoretical Physics at Novosibirsk State University. Doctor Khriplovich was elected to the Russian Academy of Sciences in 2000, and remains a Corresponding Member. Khriplovich was the first to correctly calculate the beta-function for the coupling renormalization in a non-Abelian Yang–Mills theory, although at that time (1969) asymptotic freedom was not yet recognized as a property of the strong interactions.
Starting in the early 70-s he was one of the initiators of the search for parity violating effects in atoms, and he has performed a great number of pioneering detailed calculations of the effect in various atoms, including the effect of the rotation of polarization of light in bismuth, which was the first parity violating atomic effect which was experimentally observed.
