Krister Shalm (Fed)

Research Associate

Krister Shalm is an experimental quantum physicist. His research focuses on studying the quantum properties of light to develop new quantum networking technologies. He received his PHD in physics from the university of Toronto in 2010, and subsequently performed postdoctoral work at the Institute for Quantum Computing in Waterloo, Canada. In 2015, he led a team that carried out one of the first experimental demonstrations of a loophole-free Bell test. Krister's work on entanglement has received widespread international recognition. When Krister isn't in the lab or sharing his love of science, he can be found swing dancing.
