Pieter Kok

Pieter Kok (born June 1972) is a Dutch physicist and one of the co-developers of quantum interferometric optical lithography. His research specializations include linear optical implementations of quantum communication and computation protocols, quantum teleportation and the interpretation of quantum theory. He is a Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Sheffield.

Professor Kok was born in Friesland, Netherlands, graduated from the University of Utrecht with a master's degree in Foundations of Quantum Theory, and later completed a PhD in physics from the University of Wales, Bangor in 2001. He has previously worked in the Quantum Computing Technologies Group at the NASA/Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in Pasadena, California, Hewlett-Packard Laboratories in Bristol, England and at the Department of Materials, University of Oxford.
