Arnt Inge Vistnes

Arnt Inge Vistnes is a Professor at the Department of Physics, University of Oslo, specializing in quantum physics, electromagnetic waves, and the philosophy of science. He has held academic positions at the University of Oslo since 1974, with sabbaticals at institutions like the University of Rochester, University of Southern California, and Niels Bohr Institute. His research focuses on the quantum description of light, wave-particle duality, and experimental studies involving entangled photons and electromagnetic field effects on biological systems.

He teaches courses such as FYS 2130 Oscillations and Waves. His career includes organizing the 27th International Physics Olympiad (1996) and contributions to epidemiological studies on low-frequency electromagnetic fields. Vistnes has received awards like the Fulbright Fellowship and the Maxwell's Golden Demon honor, recognizing his teaching and research excellence.

His publications span quantum optics, biological effects of radiation, and physics education. Notable works include studies on the Hanbury Brown-Twiss effect in sound waves and entangled photon interference. He collaborates internationally and established a quantum optics laboratory at the University of Oslo since 2006.
