Klaus Mølmer is a
Danish physicist who is currently a professor at the
Niels Bohr Institute of the
University of Copenhagen. From 2000 to 2022, he was a professor of physics at the
University of Aarhus.
In 1999, Mølmer and Anders Sørensen proposed the
Mølmer–Sørensen gate
In quantum computing, Mølmer–Sørensen gate scheme (or MS gate) refers to an implementation procedure for various multi- qubit quantum logic gates used mostly in trapped ion quantum computing. This procedure is based on the original proposition ...
for
trapped ion quantum computing, which was one of the first proposals for the implementation of a multi-qubit gate on a physical system.
Mølmer was awarded the status of Fellow in the
American Physical Society
The American Physical Society (APS) is a not-for-profit membership organization of professionals in physics and related disciplines, comprising nearly fifty divisions, sections, and other units. Its mission is the advancement and diffusion of k ...
, after he was nominated by their Division of Atomic, Molecular & Optical Physics in 2008,
for ''his outstanding and insightful contributions to theoretical
quantum optics,
quantum information science and quantum atom optics, including the development of novel computational methods to treat open systems in
quantum mechanics and theoretical proposals for the quantum logic gates with trapped ions.''
