Andreas Winter (mathematician)
Andreas Winter (born June 14, 1971 in Mühldorf am Inn ) is a mathematician and mathematical physicist at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB). He received his doctorate in 1999 with Rudolf Ahlswede and Friedrich Götze at the University of Bielefeld before moving to the University of Bristol and then to the Center for Quantum Technologies (CQT) at the National University of Singapore . In 2013 he was appointed ICREA Research Professor in Barcelona.
Professor Winter's research focus is quantum information theory . His most important contributions concern the study of quantum communication protocols, the coding theory for quantum channels and the entanglement of quantum states. He is co-discoverer of a method for merging non-local quantum states (state-merging). It could thus be shown that quantum information can take on negative values.
He was awarded a Philip Leverhulme Prize in Mathematics and Statistics in 2008 and the London Mathematical Society's Whitehead Prize in 2012 .
