Gediminas Juzeliūnas (14 July 1958) is a professor of theoretical physics[1] and heads the Quantum optics group[2] at Vilnius University in Lithuania. He has authored and co-authored more than 50[3] 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.[4] These advances were essential in order to make an experimental connection between spintronics and cold atomic gases .[5][6] Furthermore, his landmark publications on slow light [7] and artificial magnetic fields[8] have led to important insights in quantum optics and many-body physics.[9]
