Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics

Top Scientist to Join Canada's Perimeter Institute

Toronto, Canada (ots/PRNewswire)

  • Michael Aaron Nielsen
  • Quantum Information Theory
Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Ontario,
Canada (just outside Toronto) welcomes Michael Aaron Nielsen to
Faculty  beginning May, 2007.
A distinguished and prolific scientist, Dr. Nielsen specializes in
Quantum Information Theory and is widely known for his fundamental
work on  the theory of entangled quantum states, which are the
essential physical  resource underlying quantum information
processing. His majorization  theorem is a fundamental tool used by
researchers to classify and compare  the power of different entangled
quantum states.
He is author or co-author of 53 papers either published or
accepted  for publication in international refereed journals since
1996, with 1426  citations. His comprehensive textbook, "Quantum
Computation and Quantum  Information" (Cambridge University Press,
2000, co-authored with I.L.  Chuang) is considered by many to be the
most significant textbook on  quantum information currently
available.
Dr. Nielsen (PhD New Mexico, 1998) is currently the Australian
Research Council Federation Fellow in the School of Physical Sciences
at  the University of Queensland. He will join PI as Faculty
beginning May, 2007.
About PI: Perimeter Institute is an independent, non-profit
research  centre where international scientists are clustering to
push the limits of  our understanding of physical laws by
contemplating and calculating new  ideas about the very essence of
space, time, matter and information. The  Institute also provides a
wide array of educational outreach activities for  students, teachers
and the general public across Canada and beyond in order  to share
the joys of creative inquiry, research, discovery and innovation.
