معرفی
A. Douglas Stone is the Carl A. Morse Professor of Applied Physics and Professor of Physics at Yale University, and Deputy Director of the Yale Quantum Institute. His research focuses on theoretical condensed matter and optical physics, with emphasis on quantum transport, mesoscopic systems, laser physics, and wave chaos. He has contributed to foundational work on microcavity lasers, Steady-state Ab initio Laser Theory (SALT), and non-Hermitian systems such as coherent perfect absorption (CPA). His education includes a Ph.D. from MIT (1983) and a Rhodes Scholarship (1976-1978).
Research Highlights: Development of SALT for microlaser design, discovery of CPA as time-reversed lasing, and exploration of Anderson localization in disordered systems. Awards include the Willis Lamb Medal (2015) and Phi Beta Kappa Science Book Award (2014) for his book Einstein and the Quantum.
Advising: Supervised numerous Ph.D. students including Li Ge, Harald Schwefel, and Hakan Türeci. Collaborates with experimental groups on laser engineering, quantum computing, and nonlinear optics. Supported by NSF grants in materials and theoretical physics.
Labs/Teams: Leads the A. Douglas Stone Research Group at Yale, focusing on non-Hermitian photonics, quantum measurement, and mesoscopic physics. Active in designing novel lasers and exploring topological optical systems.
