In 1983, Chu was named head of the quantum electronics research department.

His research evolved to include quantum electronics and opto-electronics as well.

He founded the Center for Quantum Electronics at that university in 1975.

In the study of these devices, quantum optics often overlaps with quantum electronics.

In 1960s, new areas such quantum electronics, holography, nonlinear optics, pyroelectronics were developed.

Induced gamma emission is an example of interdisciplinary research bordering on both nuclear physics and quantum electronics.

Industrial problems involving lasers, solid state or quantum electronics and the development of materials to withstand exotic conditions are all interdisciplinary.

Quantum Electronics is a peer-reviewed scientific journal.

It covers research on quantum electronics.

Nobel Prize in Physics (1964, with the pioneering work done in the field of quantum electronics)
