Reinhard F. Werner (born March 26, 1954 in Kassel ) is a German theoretical physicist.

Life

Werner studied physics from 1970 to 1980 at the TU Clausthal , the University of Marburg and the University of Rochester and received his doctorate in 1982 under Günther Ludwig in Marburg. From 1980 to 1996 he was at the University of Osnabrück, where he completed his habilitation in theoretical physics in 1987 and where he was a temporary professor. From 1988 to 1990 he was at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies and in 1988/89 he received a Feodor Lynen Fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. In 1996 he became a professor at the Institute for Mathematical Physics at the TU Braunschweig , and from 2009 he became a professor in Hanover. He turned down a call as Leigh Trapnell Professor of Quantum Physics at Cambridge University. He lives in Wolfenbüttel .

It deals with the fundamentals of quantum mechanics ( quantum information theory , quantum statistical mechanics, time in quantum mechanics).

In 2008 he was invited speaker at the European Congress of Mathematicians in Amsterdam (Locality and unitarity in the structure of quantum cellular automata). In 2014 he received the International Quantum Communication Award for his fundamental contributions in the field of quantum information: specifically quantum entanglement and non-locality, quantum Shannon theory, quantum storage channels and quantum cellular automata (laudation). He is a member of the Braunschweig Scientific Society .

He is married and has two daughters.
