John C. Slater was an American physicist and chemist known for his contributions to quantum chemistry and solid-state physics. He is perhaps best known for the creation of the Slater determinant, a mathematical construct used to describe the wave function of a multi-electron system in quantum mechanics, particularly valuable in the context of the antisymmetry requirement for fermions in quantum systems.
