Scientific session commemorating life and work of Roman Stanisław Ingarden
National Quantum Information Centre organise scientific session to commemorate life and work of Roman Stanisław Ingarden. Roman Ingarden was a mathematical physicist, professor at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, founder of two journals: Reports on Mathematical Physics and Open Systems and Information Dynamics and one of the pioneers of the concept of quantum information. His 1976 paper had a short title: QUANTUM INFORMATION THEORY [Reports on Mathematical Physics 10, 43-72 (1976)]. This publication predates by almost a quarter of a century the explosion of interest in quantum information caused by the significant progress in experimental techniques between 1990 and 2000, which enabled the first experimental realizations of transmission, processing and encryption of quantum information.
Three sessions have been held so far, in 2020, 2021 and 2022.
