Reinhard F Werner (born 1954) is a German physicist, and Professor at the Institute of Theoretical Physics at Leibniz University Hannover.
He is notable for his contributions to the field of quantum information theory such as foundational concepts in the theory of quantum correlations including the concept of separable quantum states and mixed entangled state now known as Werner state,[1] finitely correlated states aka matrix product states,[2] mean field theory[3] and entanglement area laws.[4]
Education
He obtained his Diploma 1976 and his Doctorate 1982 in physics from Marburg University.
Career
Following studies from 1970 - 1980 at the universities of Clausthal, Marburg and Rochester and a doctorate in 1982 with G. Ludwig at Marburg University he was working at the Physics Department of the University of Osnabrück (1980 - 1996) where he also completed his Habilitation in 1987. In 1988/89 he held a Feodor Lynen Fellowship of the alexander von Humboldt Foundation at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies where he stayed until 1990. He also held a Heisenberg Fellowship of the German Research Council from 1989 - 1995. In April 1997 the took up a Professorship at the Institute of Mathematical Physics of the Technical University of Braunschweig which he held until 2009. After declining an offer of the Leigh Trapnell Chair of Quantum Physics at DAMTP of Cambridge University in 2009 he transferred to the Leibniz University Hannover where is still working.
