维亚切斯拉夫·穆哈诺夫1956—

宇宙微波背景辐射（CMB）温度涨落的实验测量结果与穆哈诺夫的理论预言符合得极好，从而证实了星系和星系团确实起源于原初量子涨落。 后来，穆哈诺夫进一步发展了广义的量子宇宙微扰理论。

Viatcheslav Fyodorovich Mukhanov (Russian: Вячесла́в Фёдорович Муха́нов; born October 2, 1956) is a Soviet/Russian born German theoretical physicist and cosmologist. He is best known for the theory of Quantum Origin of the Universe Structure. Working in 1980 and 1981 with Gennady Chibisov in the Lebedev Physical Institute in Moscow, he predicted the spectrum of inhomogeneities in the Universe, which are originated from the initial quantum fluctuations. The numerous experiments in which there were measured the temperature fluctuations of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation are in excellent agreement with this theoretical prediction, thus confirming that the galaxies and their clusters originated from the initial quantum fluctuations. Later on, Mukhanov proved that the results he obtained with G. Chibisov in 1981 are of the generic origin, and he has developed the general consistent quantum cosmological perturbation theory.

Since 2006, Mukhanov is the Scientific Director of the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics.
