Mack KiraMackillo Kira is a professor at the University of Michigan, and he has pioneered the systematic quantum theory of semiconductor quantum optics for decades. This work includes predicting and explaining quantum-entanglement effects in semiconductor micocavities, introducing semiconductor quantum spectroscopy, and discovering the dropleton, the highly entangled quasiparticle, with Prof. Cundiff. Prof. Kira is currently interested in semiconductor quantum optics, quantum many-body physics of diverse quantum systems, ultrafast and extreme nonlinear spectroscopy in solids, terahertz and quantum spectroscopy of complex systems, as well as artificial photo synthesis. He is a co-author of more than 180 papers and one of the first text books on Semiconductor Quantum Optics. Read More Read Less
