The IEEE Photonics Society Quantum Electronics Award was recently presented to Dr. Alexey Gorshkov, a distinguished physicist and researcher at NIST and the University of Maryland. The award recognizes his pioneering contributions to understanding, designing, and controlling interacting quantum systems with applications in quantum computers, sensors, and networks.
Dr. Gorshkov received his undergraduate and doctoral degrees from Harvard University before joining NIST in 2013. His research focuses on the intersection of quantum optics, atomic physics, condensed matter physics, and quantum information science. The practical applications of his work include quantum computing, quantum communication, and quantum sensing. His significant achievements have been recognized with multiple awards, including the 2023 Samuel Wesley Stratton Award and the 2022 Optica Fellowship.
