Maria V. Chekhova

Maria V. Chekhova (born 1963) is a Russian-German physicist known for her research on quantum optics and in particular on the quantum entanglement of pairs of photons. She is a researcher at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light in Erlangen, Germany, where she heads an independent research group on quantum radiation,[1] and a professor at the University of Erlangen–Nuremberg, in the chair of experimental physics (optics).[2]

Education and career

Chekhova was born on 8 June 1963 in Moscow, and educated in physics at Moscow State University, where she earned a master's degree in 1986, completed a Ph.D. in 1989, and earned a habilitation in 2004. She was a full-time researcher at Moscow State University from 1989 to 2010, continuing on a part-time basis until 2020. In the meantime, she took her present position at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light in 2010.[3] In 2020, she added a part-time affiliation as professor at the University of Erlangen–Nuremberg.[3][4]

In November 2021 Chekhova was elected for the "Optica Fellow 2022" for "pioneering contributions to the science and applications of photon pairs and twin beams".[5][6]

Book

Chekhova is the coauthor, with Peter Banzer, of the textbook Polarization of Light: In Classical, Quantum and Nonlinear Optics (De Gruyter, 2021).[7]
