Paweł Horodecki – professor of physics works at International Centre for Theory of Quantum Technologies, University of Gdańsk, Poland, of which he was a co-organizer and where he leads a group. He is also a professor at the Faculty of Applied Physics and Mathematics, Gdańsk University of Technology and the Director of National Quantum Information Centre (KCIK) in Gdańsk. He graduated from Gdańsk University (1995) and received a Ph.D. degree from the Technical University of Gdańsk (1999). Full professor since 2010. He received Fellowship from Foundation for Polish Science (1998), DAAD (1999) and was Fujitsu Visiting Professor at DAMTP, Cambridge University (2003). Co-author of the book “Quantum Information” (Springer, 2001).
Paweł Horodecki is a physicist interested in quantum information and foundations of quantum physics, whose main achievements include pioneering research on quantum entanglement. He co-discovered bound entanglement and entanglement witnesses and contributed to foundations of quantum communication theory including information compression, security and randomness generation.
His current research interest include also quantum batteries (collaboration – University of Calgary), optimal quantum measurements and quantum correlations in high energy physics (collaboration – University of Oxford).
Author or coauthor of above 200 papers including the review “Quantum entanglement” in Reviews of Modern Physics which became a classical reference in the field. Google schoolar data: above 38 000 citations, h-index 69. In 2020 and 2023, on the TOP-2 % Stanford/Elsevier list of the most cited scientists.
