Časlav Brukner

Časlav Brukner is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Physics, University of Vienna. He obtained his M.S. degree in physics from the University of Vienna (1995) and earned a Doctor of Technical Sciences from Vienna University of Technology (1999). He was awarded the Habilitation in Quantum Physics by the University of Vienna. He was a Marie Curie Fellow at the Imperial College London (2004), and Senior Researcher at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information, Austrian Academy of Sciences (2005–2006). In addition, he has been Chair Professor at Tsinghua University in Beijing, China (since 2005). His primary research interests are foundations of quantum physics and quantum information theory. He worked (together with Anton Zeilinger) on an information-theoretical formulation of quantum mechanics. He collaborated on a derivation of the general Bell inequality, also known as “Werner-Wolf-Zukowski-Brukner” inequality. He also worked on theoretical proposals that led to the first experiment to demonstrate entanglement purification and the first test of nonlocal realistic theories. He made important contributions to the theory of quantum communication complexity and proposed new approach to quantum-to-classical transition.
