||Rudolf Haag (d. 5 January 2016) was a German physicist. He was best known for his contributions to the algebraic formulation of axiomatic quantum field theory (QFT), namely the Haag–Kastler axioms, and a central no-go theorem in QFT, Haag's theorem, which demonstrates the nonexistence of a unitary time-evolution operator in the interaction picture.
