Doyle, John M.

John Morrissey Doyle is an American physicist working in the field of atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics and precision particle physics. He is the Henry B. Silsbee Professor of Physics, director of the Japanese Undergraduate Research Exchange Program (JUREP), co-director of the Harvard Quantum Initiative as well as co-director of the Ph.D. program in quantum science and engineering at Harvard University. Doyle is most known for his work on cooling and trapping of atoms and molecules as well as for his contributions to the spectroscopy and quantum control of trapped atomic and molecular ensembles. The work of the Doyle group and its collaborators has been contributing to research in AMO (Atomic, Molecular, and Optical) and low-energy elementary particle physics, with implications for molecular structure elucidations, quantum information, and explorations beyond the Standard Model of physics. He is a Fellow of the Fulbright Program and the Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS). Doyle received the Alexander von Humboldt Research Award in 2003 and was the recipient of the 2021 Broida Award and the 2024 Norman F. Ramsey Prize of the American Physical Society (APS). In 2022, he was elected to the presidential line of the APS, and has been serving as APS Vice President.
