Keith Charles Schwab is a quantum physicist and professor at the Caltech. He was born in 1968 in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. He attended:

St. Louis University High School, 1986-1990.
University of Chicago, BA in Physics, 1986-1990.
University of California, Berkeley, 1990-1996.

After Berkeley, he was the Sherman Fairchild Distinguished Scholar at Caltech (1996-2000) and worked with Prof. Michael Roukes. There, they measured the "quantum of thermal conductance." In 2000, he joined the National Security Agency, and formed a research group focused on the quantum properties of nano-electro-mechanical structures. In 2006, he joined the faculty at the Dept. of Physics at Cornell University. In 2009, he joined the faculty in Applied Physics at Caltech.
