Christopher Wilson is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo, with a cross-appointment in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. He is a licensed Professional Engineer (P.Eng.). In 2004, Dr. Wilson moved to Sweden to work on a quantum computing project at Chalmers University of Technology, where his team began exploring the use of superconducting circuits for quantum computing applications. By 2007, he had realized that their research enabled the measurement of virtual photons in a vacuum—photons generated from annihilated pairs that can be detected under specific conditions. His work on creating an electronic 'mirror' that could operate at one-quarter the speed of light using magnetic fields allowed for the separation of photon pairs and their observation without annihilation. His research focuses on quantum information, microwave quantum optics, and nonlinear dynamics. Throughout his career, Dr. Wilson's research has received numerous accolades, including the 2012 Wallmark Prize from the Royal Swedish Academy for his contributions to the Dynamical Casimir Effect, which was recognized as one of the Top 5 Breakthroughs of 2011 by Physics World, earning the #1 Reader's Choice spot in Nature News.
