Gediminas Juzeliūnas (14 July 1958) is a professor of theoretical physics and heads the Quantum optics group at Vilnius University in Lithuania. He has authored and co-authored more than 50 articles on quantum and nonlinear optics, as well as on theoretical condensed matter physics.
Juzeliūnas is best known for putting forward realistic schemes in order to generate artificial spin-orbit coupling for ultracold atoms. These advances were essential in order to make an experimental connection between spintronics and cold atomic gases . Furthermore, his landmark publications on slow light and artificial magnetic fields have led to important insights in quantum optics and many-body physics.
