Charles Nabors

Charles D. Nabors is a senior engineering project manager at Spectra-Physics who earned his doctorate at Stanford for research on quantum optics and optical parametric oscillators. Nabors earned his undergraduate degree at MIT and his doctorate in applied physics at Stanford, where his dissertation examined coherence and two-color squeezing in doubly resonant optical parametric oscillators — devices that convert one frequency of light into two, with quantum correlations between the outputs. That research sat at the intersection of nonlinear optics and quantum information theory. He subsequently joined Spectra-Physics, a leading manufacturer of lasers and photonics equipment, where he works as a senior engineering project manager.
