2004 Helmut W. Baer Lecturer

Dr. Steve Lamoreaux

Dr. Lamoreaux received his B.S. (1981) and his Ph.D. (1986) in physics from the University of Washington. He remained at the University of Washington from 1986 through 1996 as a Research Associate Professor. In December of 1996 he moved to the Los Alamos National Laboratory where he currently is a staff member.

Dr. Lamoreaux is recognized as one of the most skilled experimenters of his generation. He has many areas of interest including precision atomic and neutron experimental techniques; the theory of neutron matter interactions; lasers and optoelectronics, and radio frequency spectroscopy. His current work includes classical and quantum cryptography, quantum computing, and tests of fundamental interactions using ultracold neutrons. He is the co-author of two books, “Ultracold Neutrons,” and “CP Violations without Strangeness: The Electric Dipole Moments of Particles, Atoms and Molecules.”

Dr. Lamoreaux is a Fellow of the American Physical Society. He received the Henderson Prize for an outstanding Ph.D. Dissertation and the first Francis M. Pipkin Award and Lectureship.
