Joseph H. Eberly

Joseph Henry Eberly (born October 19, 1935 in Carlisle (Pennsylvania) ) is an American physicist who studies quantum optics and atomic physics.

Eberly graduated from Pennsylvania State University with a bachelor's degree in 1957 and Stanford University with a master's degree in 1959 and a doctorate in 1962. As a post-doctoral student , he was at SLAC and the Naval Ordnance Laboratory . From 1965 he was at the University of Rochester , where he was an assistant professor in 1967, an associate professor in 1969 and a professor in 1976. He is the Andrew Carnegie Professor of Physics and Professor of Optics there.

In 1980 he was the first to describe the quantum mechanical effect of spontaneous collapse and restoration of coherence (Spontaneous Collapse and Revival)

In 1987 he and Jim Durnin were the first to demonstrate Bessel rays , which he generated with a thin, annular opening.

In 1994 he predicted the later observed, non-spreading, localized Rydberg states of electrons in atoms (non-spreading localized states) that follow an external rotating electromagnetic field (i.e. are non-stationary), as a quantum mechanical analogy of the orbits of the Trojans -Asteroids that follow Jupiter on its orbit in the Lagrangian points of the Jupiter-Sun system.

In 2009 he discovered a new effect that disrupts quantum entanglement (Early Stage Disentanglement, ESD, or Sudden Death of Quantum Entanglement , Entanglement Sudden Death ).

In 1994 he received the Charles Hard Townes Award and in 2010 the Frederic Ives Medal . In 1983 he received a US Senior Scientist Award from the Humboldt Foundation and was at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics with the scholarship money. In 1987 he received the Marian Smoluchowski Medal of the Polish Physical Society. He is a fellow of the American Physical Society , whose division of laser physics he chaired, and the Optical Society of America , of which he was president. He is an external member of the Polish Academy of Sciences .

He is the founding editor of Optics Express .
