Stephen Wiesner

Stephen J. Wiesner (* 1942 ) is an American physicist. He is known for contributions to quantum information theory .

Wiesner is the son of Jerome Wiesner and studied at Brandeis University and Columbia University . He lives in Israel.

Among other things, Wiesner introduced the quantum information protocol of quantum money and conjugate coding around 1970 , from which the concept of quantum key exchange developed (BB84 protocol). The idea initially only circulated in the form of preprints and was only published by him in 1983. The concept of dense coding ( Superdense or Dense Coding ) designed by him and Charles Bennett based on quantum entanglement was demonstrated experimentally by Anton Zeilinger and his group in 1996.
