Mordehai Heiblum (Hebrew: מוטי הייבלום – sometimes called Moty Heiblum, born May 25, 1947, in Holon) is an Israeli electrical engineer and condensed matter physicist, known for his research in mesoscopic physics. His experimental techniques allowed to demonstrate the fractional charge of the fractional quantum Hall effect and measuring the of half-integer thermal conductance quantum at filling fraction 5/2. For these discoveries he earned several prizes, including the 2025 Wolf Prize in Physics.
He was elected a Member of the National Academy of Sciences in 2025.
