PETER W. MILONNI is currently Laboratory Fellow and
Laboratory Associate in the Complex Systems Group of the
Theoretical Division, Los Alamos National Laboratory and Research
Professor of Physics at the University of Rochester. Dr. Milonni is
the author or coauthor of several books and has published research
and review papers on both pure and applied physics. He has served
for many years on a number of editorial boards, and was the
recipient of the Max Born Award of the Optical Society of America
in 2008. His research interests are in the areas of quantum optics
and electrodynamics, especially in connection with the quantum and
fluctuation properties of electromagnetic radiation and its
interaction with matter.

JOSEPH H. EBERLY is currently Andrew Carnegie Professor
Physics and Professor of Optics at the University of Rochester. A
past president of the Optical Society of America, he has
contributed to the research literature on theoretical quantum
optics and laser physics, with interests in multipulse propogation,
high-field atomic physics, quantum entanglement, cavity QED, and
relaxation dynamics. Dr. Eberly received the Smoluchowski Medal of
the Physical Society of Poland in 1987 and the Charles Hard Townes
Award of the Optical Society of America in 1994. He is the coauthor
of two books and coeditor of several conference proceedings. He is
the founding editor of Optics Express and has served on a
number of editorial and advisory boards.
