Dr. Alexey Gorshkov, a researcher at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), has been recognized for his groundbreaking work in quantum physics. His research focuses on creating strong interactions between photons, which are particles of light that typically do not interact with each other. This breakthrough has significant implications for the development of new quantum technologies.
Gorshkov’s work has led to the development of novel ways to control strongly coupled atom/light systems. This includes creating new single-photon sources, photon-photon quantum gates, single-photon transistors, and lasers with ultranarrow-linewidth non-classical output. Additionally, he has established new protocols for quantum sensor networks and has defined tighter limits on the rate at which information can travel in quantum systems, setting limits on the performance of quantum computers.
