Speaker's Bio:
Carlton M. Caves is a Distinguished Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of New Mexico. He received the PhD in Physics from the California Institute of Technology in 1979. He worked at Caltech as a postdoctoral Research Fellow through 1981 and as a Senior Research Fellow in Theoretical Physics from 1982 through 1987. From 1988 till 1992 he was Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and Physics at the University of Southern California. He moved to to UNM as Professor of Physics and Astronomy in 1992. He is the author of over 125 scientific papers on topics in gravitation theory, quantum optics, nonlinear dynamics, quantum information, and quantum metrology. His present research is concentrated on quantum metrology and quantum information theory. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
