About
Carlos R. Stroud is a Professor of Optics and Physics at the University of Rochester, currently serving as Director of the Center for Quantum Information. His career spans experimental and theoretical quantum optics, atomic physics, and quantum computing.
- AB in Physics and Mathematics from Centre College
- PhD in Physics (1969) from Washington University
Research Focus: Bridging classical and quantum mechanics through Rydberg wave packets, electron interferometry, and quantum state control. His group pioneered studies on spontaneous emission modification, coherent population trapping, and Autler-Townes effect in multi-level atomic systems.
His work impacts quantum computing and nonlinear optics, with recent projects exploring semiclassical methods and quantum light generation. Publications highlight advances in quantum revivals, photon sources, and coherent atomic interactions.
- Fellow of the Optical Society of America
- Fellow of the American Physical Society
- Distinguished Traveling Lecturer for the American Physical Society's Division of Laser Science (since 1998)
He has lectured at over 75 universities and maintains the Wave Packet Homepage with tutorials and preprints on Rydberg wave packets.
