Jeffrey A. Harvey

Among Harvey's many contributions to the field of theoretical physics, he is one of the co-discoverers of the heterotic string, along with David Gross, Emil Martinec, and Ryan Rohm.{{cite journal | last1=Gross | first1=David J. | last2=Harvey | first2=Jeffrey A. | last3=Martinec | first3=Emil | last4=Rohm | first4=Ryan | title=Heterotic String | journal=Physical Review Letters | publisher=American Physical Society (APS) | volume=54 | issue=6 | date=1985-02-11 | issn=0031-9007 | doi=10.1103/physrevlett.54.502 | pages=502–505| pmid=10031535 }} The four physicists were colloquially known as the "Princeton string quartet".{{cite web|author=Dennis Overbye|author-link=Dennis Overbye|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2004/12/07/science/07stri.html?pagewanted=2&fta=y|title=String theory, at 20, explains it all (or not)|work=The New York Times|date=2004-12-07|access-date=2020-03-15}}
