Dirk Bouwmeester

Dirk (Dik) Bouwmeester (born 1967) is a Dutch experimental physicist specializing in quantum optics and quantum information. He currently holds a faculty position at the University of California at Santa Barbara and a part-time position at Leiden University in the Netherlands. While he was a post-doctoral researcher in the group of Anton Zeilinger, he performed one of the first demonstrations of Quantum teleportation using photons.^[1] His current areas of research include solid-state cavity quantum electrodynamics, knotted states of light,^[2] micro-optomechanical systems,^[3] and DNA-templated optical emitters.
