Jonathan Dowling

Jonathan P. Dowling (* around 1957 in Smithtown, New York) is an American physicist who deals with quantum optics and quantum information theory.

Dowling studied at the University of Texas at Austin with a bachelor 's degree in physics in 1977 and at the University of Colorado at Boulder, where he in 1981 his master's degree in mathematics and in 1984 acquired in physics and in 1988 received his doctorate in Asim Orhan Barut in theoretical physics. As a post - graduate student, he was in 1989/90 at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics in Herbert Walther and Marlan Scully. After that, he conducted research in quantum optics group of the United States Army Aviation and Mission Command ( AMCOM ) at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville at Charles M. Bowden. From 1998 he was in the group for a quantum computer at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where he was a senior scientist and group leader (Group Supervisor). From 2004, he was Horace C. Hearne Jr. Professor of Theoretical Physics at the Louisiana State University and Co-Director of the Hearne Institute of Theoretical Physics.

1986/87 he was a visiting scientist at the International Center of Theoretical Physics in Trieste

Dowling addressed in the 1990s with the theory of spontaneous emission in photonic crystals and photonic crystals with band gaps (analog semiconductors in electronics ). He is known for the development of quantum-mechanical technologies (Quantum Imaging, Quantum Sensing, quantum metrology). In 2002, he proposed a method for the realization of entangled quantum mechanical Vielteilchenzuständen, called Noon - states, and in 2000 he founded the quantum lithography and was one of the pioneers in the field of quantum imaging, in the quantum mechanical properties such as quantum entanglement to improve the resolving power in comparison be used for the classical case (in this case in photolithography ).

In 2002 he was awarded the Willis E. Lamb Award for pioneering work in quantum electronics and especially the study of the spatial coherence of entangled multi-photon states. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, the Optical Society of America, the Institute of Physics and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

He holds seven U.S. patents ( 2011). In addition to the U.S. citizenship he also has Irish citizenship.
