Braunstein has written or edited three books and has published more than 140 papers, which have been cited over 36,000 times. His most important work is on quantum teleportation, and published in a paper titled Unconditional Quantum Teleportation.[1] The paper has been cited more than 3,000 times and received significant coverage in both the scientific and mainstream press.
In February 2006, Braunstein made the news due to his involvement in the first successful demonstration of quantum telecloning.[2]
From 2009, he began to research black hole thermodynamics, contributing to the black hole information paradox and the firewall paradox.[3][4]
Braunstein co-authored papers with Gilles Brassard and Simone Severini, with whom he introduced the Braunstein-Ghosh-Severini Entropy of a graph.
Education
editBraunstein completed his PhD in 1988 at Caltech, under Carlton M. Caves. His dissertation was titled Novel Quantum States and Measurements.
