A physicist who helped develop experiments and teaching methods for the quantum behavior of photons. With Enrique Galvez and Beth Parks, he showed how to describe a beam splitter using a unitary matrix that transforms optical modes. Treating the device at the amplitude level, including its phases, gives a common framework for single-photon interference and experiments with correlated photons.[ref]
