Quantum Optics Researcher Mikhail Lukin Wins Springer Prize for Applied Physics

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
BERLIN, Oct. 21, 2015 — Quantum optics and nanophotonics researcher Mikhail Lukin is the winner of this year's Julius Springer Prize for Applied Physics. Lukin is a professor at Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass. Presented by the academic publisher Springer Nature, the $5,000 award will be presented in Berlin, where Lukin will also give a public lecture. According to Springer, Lukin is a pioneer in the use of quantum optical processes and devices for implementing the ideas of quantum information science. His work in both theoretical and experimental physics has resulted in new methods for controlling...Read full article

    quantum optics
    The area of optics in which quantum theory is used to describe light in discrete units or "quanta" of energy known as photons. First observed by Albert Einstein's photoelectric effect, this particle description of light is the foundation for describing the transfer of energy (i.e. absorption and emission) in light matter interaction.
    nanophotonics
    Nanophotonics is a branch of science and technology that explores the behavior of light on the nanometer scale, typically at dimensions smaller than the wavelength of light. It involves the study and manipulation of light using nanoscale structures and materials, often at dimensions comparable to or smaller than the wavelength of the light being manipulated. Aspects and applications of nanophotonics include: Nanoscale optical components: Nanophotonics involves the design and fabrication of...
