H. Jeff Kimble (born April 23, 1949), is the William L. Valentine Professor and Professor of Physics at Caltech.[1] His research is in quantum optics and is noted for groundbreaking experiments in physics including one of the first demonstrations of teleportation of a quantum state (first demonstration is disputed with Anton Zeilinger),[2] quantum logic gate,[3] and the development of the first single atom laser.[4] According to Elizabeth Rogan, OSA CEO, "Jeff has led a revolution in modern physics through his pioneering research in the coherent control of the interactions of light and matter."[5] Kimble's main research focus is in quantum information science and the quantum dynamics of open systems.[1]

Kimble graduated summa cum laude from Abilene Christian University in 1971 and earned his master's and doctoral degrees from University of Rochester, culminating in 1979.[1] He was advised by Leonard Mandel. Along with Mandel, Kimble observed the first photon anti-bunching. He spent two years as a scientist for the General Motors Research Laboratory until 1979 when he joined the faculty at the University of Texas at Austin.[6] He moved to the California Institute of Technology in 1989.[6]

Kimble is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science,[7] the American Physical Society, and the Optical Society of America, and is a member of the National Academy of Sciences.[1]
