Jeffrey Shapiro

Jeffrey H. Shapiro (born 27 December 1946 in New York City ) is an American electrical engineer and quantum physicists.

Shapiro is Julius A. Stratton Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge (Massachusetts ). He works primarily in the field of quantum information processing ( quantum cryptography ).

Shapiro studied at MIT with a bachelor's degree in 1967 and a master's degree (SM ) 1968 ( and another in Electrical Engineering, 1969). In 1970 he received his doctorate from MIT in electrical engineering with a thesis on Adaptive techniques for optical communication in turbulent atmosphere. 1970 to 1973 he was Assistant Professor at Case Western Reserve University and from 1973 Associate Professor and since 1985 professor of electrical engineering at MIT. 1989 to 1999 he was Deputy Head of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and computer science at MIT. He was Julius A. Stratton Professor in 1999. 2001 to 2011 he was Director of the Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE ) at MIT.

Shapiro dealt primarily with the application of information theory to optics, and quantum information theory and is especially known for his work on the generation, observation and application of squeezed light. He dealt with optical communication in the atmosphere and technical countermeasures due to the turbulence occurring there, and with coherent laser radar.

He is a Fellow of the IEEE, the American Physical Society, the Institute of Physics and the Optical Society of America and a member of SPIE.

He was associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Information Theory and the Journal of the Optical Society of America.

In 2002 he was the organizer of the Sixth International Conference on Quantum Communication, Measurement and Computing ( QCMC'02 ).
