| 545 | |a After a bachelor's degree from Ohio State University, David Simon earned doctoral degrees in theoretical physics (Johns Hopkins) and engineering (Boston University), he now works primarily in quantum optics and related areas. He has been the author or coauthor of several books and dozens of research papers on topics ranging from the use of supersymmetry in quantum mechanics to applications of quantum entanglement in optical measurement and cryptography. He is currently Professor of Physics at Stonehill College (Easton, MA), program manager of the photonics certificate program there, and a visiting researcher at Boston University. | ||
