A. Douglas Stone is the Carl Morse Professor of Applied Physics and Physics at Yale University. He was the 2014 recipient of the Phi Beta Kappa Award in Science for his book Einstein and the Quantum: The Quest of the Valiant Swabian .
Professor Stone was one of the first condensed matter theorists to emphasize the novel properties of mesoscopic systems which are much larger than the atomic scale but differ in their behavior from bulk solids.
Doug Stone has taught negotiation and helped resolve disputes around the world. In addition to being a lecturer on Law at Harvard Law School for more than 20 years, he teaches courses for the Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School.
A. Douglas Stone Research Interests Theoretical condensed matter and optical physics, quantum transport phenomena in disordered media, mesoscopic electron physics, non-linear and chaotic dynamics, quantum and wave chaos, quantum measurement and quantum computing.
A. Douglas Stone is a renowned optical physicist and photonics researcher, who has made significant contributions to laser physics, microcavity optics, wave chaos, non-hermitian effects and quantum computing. He is also a prolific author of popular science books and articles, such as Einstein and the Quantum: The Quest of the Swabian.
We refer to the time-reversed counterpart of a laser as a coherent perfect absorber (CPA). This is an optical system that supports a purely incoming radiation pattern—the time-reverse of the lasing mode—with complete absorption and zero reflection (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2). Fig. 1: Illustration of the "coherent perfect absorber" (CPA) principle.
