[edit] Education and career
Eberly earned his bachelor's degree from Pennsylvania State University and his Ph.D. in Physics from Stanford University.
[edit] Work
Professor Eberly's research interests focus on: cavity QED; quantum information and control of non-classical entanglement; response of atoms to high-intensity optical pulses; coherent control theory of optical interactions, including soliton and adiabaton propagation. [1] In 1995, with funding from the National Science Foundation, he founded the Rochester Theory Center for Optical Science and Engineering (RTC). The Center, under Eberly's directorship, provides postdoctoral training in frontier areas of optical science and technology to selected young Ph.D. theorists from U.S. universities.[2]
[edit] Awards and recognition
Eberly is recognized as an icon in the field of theoretical quantum optics, and has been the recipient of the Charles Hard Townes Award, the Smoluchowski Medal and the Senior Humboldt Award. He is a past president of the Optical Society of America.[3]
[edit] Publications
He has published more than 300 scientific journal articles scientific papers.
[edit] Books
Eberly has co-written two textbooks and has contribute chapters to many more:
- L. Allen and J.H. Eberly, Optical Resonance and Two-Level Atoms. 1987. ISBN 978-0486655338.
