Peter David Drummond is a physicist and Distinguished Professor in the Centre for Quantum and Optical Science in the Swinburne University of Technology

Drummond was born in New Zealand in 1950, and educated at Auckland University, where he graduated B. Sc. and M. Sc. and at the University of Waikato in New Zealand, supervised by Dan Walls and Crispin Gardiner. He worked as a postdoctoral researcher with Joseph H. Eberly at Rochester University, and then as an academic at Auckland University before being appointed to a chair of physics at Queensland University in 1989. He moved to Swinburne University of Technology in 2008.

Awards and Honours

  • He was awarded the status of Fellow in the American Physical Society, after beingnominated by their Forum on International Physics in 2000,[3] for pioneering theoretical studies of quantum noise in nonlinear optical processes, including superfluorescence, optical bistability, parametric amplification and oscillation, fiber-optical solitons, proposed tests of quantum correlations, and the positive-P representation.
