Hermann Anton Haus(August 8, 1925 – May 21, 2003) was anAustrian-Americanphysicist,electrical engineer,andInstitute Professorat theMassachusetts Institute of Technology.[2]Haus' research and teaching ranged from fundamental investigations ofquantum uncertaintyas manifested inoptical communicationsto the practical generation of ultra-short optical pulses. In 1994, theOptical Society of Americarecognized Dr. Haus' contributions with itsFrederic Ives Medal,the society's highest award. Haus authored or co-authored eight books (see section below), published nearly 300 articles, and presented his work at virtually every major conference and symposium on laser and quantum electronics and quantum optics around the world. He was awarded the National Medal of Science in 1995 and was adopted into RPI's Alumni Hall of Fame in 2007.
He was a grandson of the Austrian admiralAnton Haus.His father,Otto Maximilian Haus,was a leading Slovenian doctor who investigatedtuberculosis.The tomb of his great-grandmother Marija Haus (Walter) is still inBubnjarci,Croatia.
