His research is in quantum optics and is noted for groundbreaking experiments in physics including one of the first demonstrations of Quantum teleportation, teleportation of a quantum state (first demonstration is disputed with Anton Zeilinger), Quantum gate, quantum logic gate, and the development of the first single atom laser. According to Elizabeth Rogan, Optical Society, OSA CEO, "Jeff has led a revolution in modern physics through his pioneering research in the coherent control of the interactions of light and matter." Kimble's main research focus is in quantum information science and the quantum dynamics of Open system (systems theory), open systems. Education and career Kimble graduated summa cum laude from Abilene Christian University in 1971 and earned his master's and doctoral degrees from University of Rochester, culminating in 1979.
