Everything about Wojciech Zurek totally explained
Wojciech Hubert Zurek (born
1951) is a well-known
physicist and a
Laboratory Fellow at
Los Alamos National Laboratory. He is a leading authority on
quantum theory, especially
decoherence, and other
physics topics. His work also has a lot of potential benefit to the emerging field of
quantum computing.
Zurek was educated in
Kraków, Poland (M.Sc.
1974) and
Austin, Texas (Ph.D.
1979). He spent two years at
Caltech as a
Tolman Fellow, and started at
LANL as a
J. Oppenheimer Fellow. He was the leader of the Theoretical Astrophysics Group at Los Alamos from
1991 until he was made a Laboratory Fellow in the Theory Division in
1996. Zurek is currently a foreign associate of the
Cosmology Program of the
Canadian Institute of Advanced Research. He served as a member of the
external faculty of the
Santa Fe Institute, and has been a visiting professor at the
University of California, Santa Barbara. Zurek co-organized the Quantum Coherence and Decoherence as well as the Quantum Computing and Chaos Programs at UCSB's Institute for Theoretical Physics.
He researches decoherence, physics of quantum and classical information, foundations of statistical and of quantum physics, and
astrophysics. He is also the co-author, along with
William Wootters and
Dennis Dieks, of a proof stating that a single
quantum can't be cloned (see the
no cloning theorem). He also coined the term
einselection.
