Lukin was born in Moscow, Russia.
He took lessons in physics and mathematics at the MIPT which he completed by 1993.
He is author and coauthor of many peer-reviewed articles which brought him an h-index of 100. Following the completion, he joined Texas Agricultural and Mechanical University where he wrote a research paper entitled Quantum Coherence and Interference in Optics and Laser Spectroscopy which he used for his dissertation of Doctor of Philosophy Between this and 1994 he was a visiting scientist to Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching, Germany. Later on he became a postdoc at Texas Agricultural and Mechanical University and then became a fellow of Institute of Theoretical Atomic and Molecular Physics a division of Harvard–Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.
In 2001 he became an assistant professor at Harvard and three years later became its professor
In 2005 he proposed an idea to use quantum computing mail rather than Email which is already used by both Harvard and Boston Universities. In 2013 he and Vladan Vuletic have developed a new type of matter in which photonic molecules can be used to create a lightsaber-like technology.
