Hideo Mabuchi

Hideo Mabuchi (born 1971 ) is an American physicist.

Mabuchi made ​​1992 a bachelor's degree in physics magna cum laude from Princeton University and received his doctorate in 1998 at H. Jeff Kimble at Caltech. While still a graduate student, he was offered a professorship at Caltech (Associate Professor in the Departments of Physics and control and dynamics). He is since 2007 Professor of Applied Physics at Stanford University, where he has his own institute ( Mabuchi Lab). Since 2010, he stands in front of the Faculty of Applied Physics.

He worked in atomic physics and quantum computer science, where he developed real-time monitoring and control systems for quantum systems. He turned to mathematical methods of control theory for the design and analysis of complex physical systems, deals with molecular biophysics methods of quantum optics, nonlinear quantum dynamics in cavity quantum electrodynamics ( cavity QED) as well as their applications in quantum computer science, quantum optics with nanostructures, quantum metrology ( use of quantum-mechanical systems for measurement and control techniques of the quantum noise ) and the investigation of the transition from quantum mechanical to classical behavior.

In 2000 he was MacArthur Fellow and Sloan Fellow in 1999. He received an ONR Young Investigator Award.
