Dutch theoretical physicist
Steven Jacob van Enk (born 1965) is a physicist on the faculty of the University of Oregon whose fields of study are theoretical quantum information and quantum optics.
Early life and education
Born in 1965[1] in Veenendaal, the Netherlands, Steven J. van Enk lived in Holland until 1993.[2] He earned a Ph.D. at the Universiteit Leiden in 1992.[3]
Van Enk is a national FIDE Master chess player.[1][4]
Career
Van Enk held postdoc positions at the MaxPlanck Institute of Quantum Optics, at the University of Innsbruck, and at Cal Tech, where he worked with H. Jeff Kimble, a leading theorist in quantum information. Van Enk was then a member of the technical staff at Bell Labs for six years.
In 2006 van Enk joined the University of Oregon Physics Department,[5] where he became a full professor in 2009.[2] His work has been partially supported by N.S.F. grants.[6]
