Jeffrey H. Shapiro
Jeffrey H. Shapiro (born December 27, 1946 in New York City ) is an American electrical engineer and quantum physicist .
Shapiro is the Julius A. Stratton Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, Massachusetts . He mainly works in the field of quantum information processing ( quantum cryptography ).
Shapiro graduated from MIT with a bachelor's degree in 1967 and a master's degree (SM) in 1968 (and another in electrical engineering in 1969). In 1970 he received his doctorate in electrical engineering from MIT with a thesis on adaptive techniques for optical communication in a turbulent atmosphere. 1970 to 1973 he was Assistant Professor at Case Western Reserve University and from 1973 Associate Professor and from 1985 Professor of Electrical Engineering at MIT.
From 1989 to 1999 he was deputy head of the faculty for electrical engineering and computer science at MIT. In 1999 he became Julius A. Stratton Professor . From 2001 to 2011 he was director of MIT's Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE).
Shapiro dealt primarily with the application of information theory to optical systems as well as quantum information theory and is best 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 the 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).
