Professor Alexander Sergienko
Professor Alexander Sergienko holds joint appointments in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and in the Department of Physics at Boston University. He is also a co-director of the Quantum Imaging Laboratory at Boston University Photonics Center.
Alexander received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in physics from Moscow State University in 1981 and 1987, respectively. He joined the University of Maryland in 1991. He was associated with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, Maryland, as a Guest Researcher from 1992 to 1996. In 1996, Professor Sergienko joined the faculty of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Boston University.
His research interests include quantum information processing including quantum cryptography and communications, quantum imaging, the development of novel optical-measurement and characterization techniques based on the use of non-classical states of light (quantum metrology), the experimental study of the basic concepts of quantum mechanics, the study of fundamental optical interactions of light with matter including quantum surface effects, and ultrafast quantum optics.
He pioneered the experimental development of practical quantum measurement techniques using entangled-photon states in the early 1980s. In 1999-2001 he served as a scientific advisor and consultant to MagiQ Technologies, Inc. building its research and development facility in Somerville, Massacusetts. In 2001-2005 he served as a leader of Boston University team during development of metropolitan quantum key distribution test bed in greater Boston area under the leadership of BBN Technologies.
Professor Sergienko has published more than 300 research and conference papers and holds 5 patents in the fields of an experimental quantum optics and entanglement manipulation. He is the Editor of "Quantum Communications and Cryptography" (CRC/Taylor & Francis, 2005). He is a fellow of the Optical Society of America, a member of the APS, and a member of the IEEE and LEOS.
