Christopher R. Monroe (born October 19, 1965 in Southfield ) is an American experimental physicist (laser physics, atomic physics, quantum information theory ).

Monroe graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a bachelor's degree in 1987 and received his doctorate in 1992 from Carl Wieman at the University of Colorado . He was involved in some of the early experiments by Wieman and Eric Cornell on laser cooling that eventually led to the manufacture of Bose-Einstein condensates (1995), which won them the Nobel Prize. From 1992 he was a post-doctoral student and then an employed member of the National Institute of Standards and Technology . First, he was in David Wineland's group , which demonstrated quantum logic gates in 1995 and investigated ion traps for use in quantum information theory with the demonstration of the entanglement of several ions (for which Wineland received the Nobel Prize in 2012).

In 2000 Monroe became a professor at the University of Michigan , where he was director of the Ultrafast Optic Center in 2006/07.

At the University of Michigan in 2004 he and his group showed the coupling of qubits in ion traps to individual photons in a communication network and demonstrated the first ion trap integrated on a chip. With Wineland, he proposed a scalable quantum computer architecture based on ion traps on chips.

In 2007 he became Bice Zorn Professor of Physics at the University of Maryland and Fellow of the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics (JILA).

In 2007 his group demonstrated entanglement of qubits of atoms over long distances and in 2008 it was the first to demonstrate quantum teleportation between qubits of matter (atoms) over long distances. Since 2009 he has been investigating the use of ultra-short laser pulses for manipulating quantum entanglement and investigating the simulation of many-body systems such as quantum mechanical magnetic systems with ion traps.

In 2012 he proposed a modular scalable quantum computer architecture with ion traps and photonic connections.

In 2000 he received the Quantum Communication Award, in 2001 the II Rabi Prize and in 2015 the Arthur L. Schawlow Prize for Laser Physics for pioneering research in the use of lasers for the realization of elements of quantum information theory with ion traps, including demonstrations of entanglement for long distances in quantum information protocols and the use of frequency combs for manipulating and entangling qubits at high speed (laudatory speech). Monroe was awarded the Willis E. Lamb Prize for 2020 .

In 2016 he became a member of the National Academy of Sciences .
