Samuel Leon Braunstein is a professor in the Computer Science
department at the University of York
, UK. He is a member of a research group in non-standard computation, and has a particular interest in quantum information
and quantum computation
.
Braunstein has written or edited three books, and has published more than eighty papers. His most important work was on quantum teleportation
, and published in a paper titled Unconditional Quantum Teleportation. The paper has been cited more than five hundred times and has received significant coverage in both the scientific and mainstream press.
In February 2006, Braunstein made the news due to his involvement in the first successful demonstration of Quantum telecloning.
Braunstein has an Erdős number
of 3, having co-authored papers with Gilles Brassard
and Simone Severini.
with a thesis entitled: Novel Quantum States and Measurements.
