Marek Żukowski (ORCID 0000-0001-7882-7962) – professor of theoretical physics at the University of Gdańsk.
Visiting professor of Univ. of Innsbruck (collaboration with Zeilinger, Nobel Laureate 2022), many times in the period 1991-1999; visiting professor of the University of Vienna (collaboration with Zeilinger and Brukner), several semesters (2000-2018), Tsinghua Univ., Beijing (2005), USTC Hefei (2011); in Board Member of National Science Centre – NCN (2010-2018); an editor of Phys. Rev. A (2016-2019); in Strategic Advisory Board of EU program QUANT-ERA (2017-).
Main awards: The Prize of Foundation for Polish Science (FNP, 2013); Copernicus Prize (with Weinfurter) DFG/FNP (2014); Marie Sklodowska-Curie Prize, III Div of Polish Academy of Science (2013), Hevelius Prize (City of Gdansk, 2015)
Total value of procured grants over $ 20 m. Founder of ICTQT thanks to an IRAP grant of FNP (2018-2023), and now MAB FENG grant of FNP.
Scientific Interests: Quantum Physics, Quantum Information, Quantum Optics (over 170 papers; Google Scholar: H=52, over 15000 citations).Main results: physical conditions for entanglement swapping, quantum teleportation, and multiphoton GHZ-type interference (1993-7, mentioned in the Nobel Prize in Physics 2022 official announcements). Full set of multipartite correlation Bell-CHSH inequalities (2001), schemes for d-dimensional interference and entanglement (1997), proof of their high-non-classicality (2000), relation of Bell inequalities and communication complexity (2002-5, 2020). Currently interested in non-classicality indicators for states of undefined photon numbers (2016-), critique of Wigner Friend experiment (2021-), and applied quantum information science (proposals and patent applications).
