Dowling (3 April 1955 – 5 June 2020) was an Irish-American researcher and professor in theoretical physics, known for his work on quantum technology, particularly for exploiting quantum entanglement (in the form of a NOON state) for applications to quantum metrology, quantum sensing, and quantum imaging.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Dowling obtained a PhD in 1988 from the University of Colorado-Boulder. He worked at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, the United States Army Aviation and Missile Command, the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the Louisiana State University.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Dowling was one of the founders of the US Government program in quantum computing and quantum cryptography.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Dowling was the co-director of the Horace Hearne Institute for Theoretical Physics and a Hearne chair in Theoretical Physics at the Department of Physics and Astronomy, both at Louisiana State University.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Dowling authored scientific publications in quantum electrodynamics, quantum optics, and quantum technology. At the time of his death, his publications had been cited over 20,200 times, with a Hirsch index of 64.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Dowling published papers are on the topics of Linear optical quantum computing, quantum lithography, optical switching in photonic crystals, and the photonic band-edge laser. Dowling also researched the quantum theory of atomic spontaneous emission and other quantum electrodynamics effects in optical micro-cavities and photonic crystals, as well as optical quantum computing, quantum metrology, quantum imaging, and quantum sensing.</p>
