Roy Jay Glauber (born 1925) is the Mallinckrodt Professor of Physics at Harvard University. He was awarded one half of the 2005 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his contribution to the quantum theory of optical coherence", with the other half shared by John L. Hall and Theodor W. Hänsch. His groundbreaking research on optical coherence was published in 1963. The most famous contribution of Roy Glauber to physics, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize, is the notion and mathematics behind coherent states. 1925 was a common year starting on Thursday (link will take you to calendar). ...

A student in the 1941 graduating class at the Bronx High School of Science, Glauber went on to obtain a PhD from Harvard University and later worked on the Manhattan Project.

Quantum optics is a field of research in physics, dealing with the application of quantum mechanics to phenomena involving light and its interactions with matter. ...
RoyGlauber's recent research has dealt with problems in a number of areas of quantum optics, a field which, broadly speaking, studies the quantum electrodynamical interactions of light and matter.
