Muhammad Suhail Zubairy (born 19 October 1952),[1] is a Pakistani-born academic who is a Distinguished Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the Texas A&M University and is the inaugural holder of the Munnerlyn-Heep Chair in Quantum Optics.[2]
Early life and education
Zubairy was born in Lahore, Pakistan. He attended Edwardes College in Peshawar, where he received double BSc degree in physics and mathematics from the Peshawar University, in 1971.[1] He received MSc in physics from the Quaid-i-Azam University in 1974, and his PhD in physics from the University of Rochester under the guidance of Emil Wolf in 1978.[3]
Career
Zubairy wrote a textbook titled Quantum Optics with Marlan O. Scully in 1997. [4][1]
In 2017, Zubairy was awarded the Changjiang Distinguished Chair[5] at Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
Research
His research is focused on quantum optical applications, quantum computing, quantum informatics, quantum entanglement, and sub-wavelength atom localisation. He also has researched quantum microscopy and quantum lithography.[6] His recent Physical Review Letters[7] was reviewed in Physical Review Focus[8] as well as in the News of the Week section of Nature.[9] Another of his recent Physical Review Letters was selected by Science as a news release with the title "A new way to beat the limit on shrinking transistors".[10]
