1943–наст. время · quantum information, cryptography, physics of computation
American physicist and information theorist, one of the founders of quantum information theory. Together with G. Brassard, he developed the first quantum key distribution protocol (BB84) and made decisive contributions to the concept of quantum teleportation. He is also known for his work on reversible computing and the thermodynamics of information.

Biography

Born in New York City. PhD from Harvard. Since 1973 he has worked at IBM Research, where he has spent most of his career. In 1993, together with colleagues, he proposed the quantum teleportation protocol. Wolf Prize laureate in physics (2018) for contributions to quantum information.

Key discoveries

💡 Bennett is interested in biology and film history; he can often be seen at conferences with a camera.
Quote: "Quantum mechanics gives us not only new physics but also a new way of thinking about the very concept of information."

Light in a Cryostat: How Imperfect Converters Build Quantum Bridges

Superconducting quantum computers hit a cooling wall: a single cryostat can't hold millions of qubits. The solution is optical channels, but they need microwave-to-optical converters, which are still far from perfect. The authors showed that with feedback protocols, parallel attempts, and quantum di

Quantum Teleportation: Record Accuracy in Real Time

Quantum teleportation is like sending a precise blueprint from which a copy is assembled on the other end. The problem is that noise usually smudges the lines. Now physicists used light with special properties — like a pen that doesn’t leave blots. Accuracy soared to 97%, paving the way for the quan
