Roman Stanisław Ingarden
Roman Stanisław Ingarden (born October 1, 1920 in Zakopane , † July 12, 2011 in Krakow ) was a Polish mathematical physicist and a son of the philosopher Roman Witold Ingarden .
life and career
1930–1936 he attended the 3rd State Gymnasium in Lemberg , he passed his school leaving examination in 1938 at the Kopernikus Gymnasium in Lemberg. He studied physics at the Jan-Kazimierz University in Lemberg with Juliusz Schauder , Stefan Banach and Hugo Steinhaus ( mathematics ) and with Stanisław Loria and Wojciech Rubinowicz ( physics ). After the invasion of the Soviet troops in September 1939, he continued to study physics at the university renamed after Iwan Franko . During the German occupation from 1941 to 1944 he worked in the optical works of the Bujak company, after the return of the Soviet army in 1944 in the optical-mechanical works of the Lviv military district.
After the end of the Second World War, he was transferred to Kraków , where he was employed as an assistant at the Department of Physics at the newly established Silesian Technical University ( Politechnika Śląska ). At the same time he continued studying physics at the Jagiellonian University with Jan Weyssenhoff and Konstanty Zakrzewski . He passed his master's degree in Warsaw with Wojciech Rubinowicz .
He began his scientific career in 1945 in Krakow at the Politechnika Śląska , in the same year he came to Wroclaw , where he worked as an assistant at the Department of Theoretical Physics at the University of Wroclaw .
In 1949 he passed his doctorate at the University of Warsaw with Wojciech Rubinowicz . The title of his doctoral thesis was: "About the ideal representation of space in the electron microscope". In 1954 he became an associate professor, and in 1964 a full professor of physical sciences.
From 1954 he was also employed in the Physical Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences , where he founded the Institute for Low Temperatures in Wroclaw.
In 1966 he was appointed to the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Thorn . 1969–1986 he was director of the university's physical institute, headed the chair for thermodynamics and radiation theory from 1966–1969, the chair for theoretical physics from 1969–1986 and the chair for statistical physics from 1986–1991. He founded the magazines: Reports on Mathematical Physics (1970) and Open Systems and Information Dynamics (1992) by the database Science Citation Index of the Institute for Scientific Information are recorded.
His 1975 essay Quantum Information Theory made him a pioneer of quantum information theory . He showed that Claude Shannon's information theory cannot be directly applied to quantum mechanical systems, but that it is possible to construct a generalization of Shannon's theory that can be applied there.
Since studying in Japan in 1975, his interest has been not only in physics but also in the Japanese language and culture. He helped set up a workshop for Japanese language and culture at the philological faculty of Thorn University, where he also gave lectures on Japan. In 2002 he was awarded the Order of the Holy Treasure with the Golden Rays with a ribbon by Emperor Akihito . His son, the architect Krzysztof Ingarden (* 1957) is Honorary Consul of Japan in Krakow.
In 1966, Roman Stanisław Ingarden received his doctorate honoris causa from the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Thorn.
In 1991 he retired.
