Robert J. Schoelkopf III (born January 24, 1964) is an American
Biography
Schoelkopf was born in
Moving to Yale University, he was from 1995 to 1998 a lecturer and associate research scientist, advancing to assistant professor in 1998, and professor of applied physics and physics in 2003. He was later awarded the titles Sterling Professor of Applied Physics and Physics and William A. Norton Professor of Applied Physics and Physics.[3][6]
Schoelkopf was a visiting professor at the University of New South Wales in Australia in 2008. He has been an invited lecturer at universities and professional organizations throughout the United States and in Canada and Europe. Schoelkopf was a semi-finalist for Discover magazine's Technological Innovation of the Year in 1999. His other honors include NASA's Technical Innovator Award. He is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Physical Society.
He became the William A. Norton Professor at Yale in 2013 and the Sterling Professor of Applied Physics and Physics.
Schoelkopf was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2015.[7] His other honors include Fellow in the American Physical Society and Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Research
Robert Schoelkopf focuses his research on the development of superconducting devices for
In 2007, a team of scientists led by Schoelkopf and
Schoelkopf's techniques emphasize high-speed, high-sensitivity measurements performed on nanostructures at low temperatures. Together with his former supervisor Daniel Prober and his laboratory team, Schoelkopf invented the Radio-Frequency Single-Electron Transistor, an electrometer capable of measuring sub-electron charges on nano-second timescales. This new transistor allowed them to study electrical transport at the single-charge level in various systems. They also developed new types of sensors and detectors that employ these capabilities.
Schoelkopf's current research focus, together with
Schoelkopf's law
In quantum computing technology, roughly every three years, quantum decoherence has been improved by a factor of 10. It is the quantum computing analogue of Moore's law.[2][8][9]
