Christopher C. Gerry is Professor of Physics at Lehman College, City University of New York. He was one of the first to exploit the use of group theoretical methods in quantum optics, and is a highly respected researcher and lecturer in the field. He has written well-regarded books, both for advanced students and researchers, and for a more general audience.
