Dr. Jabir Marakkarakath Vadakkepurayil joined NIST in September 2018, where he has been advancing research in scalable quantum networks and quantum-enabled classical communication. His work includes developing efficient entangled photon sources, analyzing phase noise in optical fibers for quantum networks, and designing resource-efficient quantum receivers. He has made significant contributions to quantum communication protocols and optical quantum technologies, with an extensive publication record in leading scientific journals.
Dr. Jabir completed his Ph.D. in Physics in 2018 at the Physical Research Laboratory (PRL), India, focusing on the generation of quantum entanglement using SPDC photons. He also holds an M.Sc. in Physics with a specialization in photonics and nonlinear optics from the University of Hyderabad and a B.Sc. in Physics from Farook College, India.
