Jonathan P. Dowling is an Irish-American researcher and professor in theoretical physics, known for his work on quantum technology, particularly for exploiting quantum entanglement (in the form of a NOON state) for applications to quantum metrology, quantum sensing, and quantum imaging.

Career

Dowling obtained a PhD in 1988 from the University of Colorado-Boulder.[1] He worked at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics,[2] the United States Army Aviation and Missile Command,[3] the the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory[4], and the Louisiana State University.[1]

Dowling is one of the founders of the US Government program in quantum computing and quantum cryptography.[5]

Dowling is co-director of the Horace Hearne Institute for Theoretical Physics and a Hearne chair in Theoretical Physics at the Department of Physics and Astronomy, both at Louisiana State University.

Forschung

Dowling has authored scientific publications in quantum electrodynamics, quantum optics, and quantum technology. His publications have been cited over 18,000 times, with a Hirsch index over 61.[6] In 2018, his publications were ranked in the top 1% of all scientific publications in the world.[7]

Dowling most cited papers are on the topics of Linear optical quantum computing,[8] quantum lithography,[9] optical switching in photonic crystals,[10] and the photonic band-edge laser.[11] Dowling also researched the quantum theory of atomic spontaneous emission and other quantum electrodynamics effects in optical micro-cavities and photonic crystals, [12] as well as optical quantum computing,[13] quantum metrology, quantum imaging,[14] and quantum sensing,[15] all with the optical NOON state and other related quantum entangled states.

Awards and recognition

Publications

Dowling is the author of a science book, "Schrödinger's Killer App – Race to Build the World's First Quantum Computer".[23]

Dowling co-authored a 2003 paper which predicted a boom in quantum technologies.[24] Dowling was the first to expound the Dowling-Neven law,[citation needed] which states that as the number of qubitsd in a superconducting quantum computer grows at an exponential rate, the processing power grows at a double-exponential rate.
