Andreas Winter is a mathematician at the University of Bristol
and CQT (Centre for Quantum Technologies
) at the National University of Singapore
. He received his Ph.D. in 1999 under Rudolf Ahlswede
and Friedrich Götze before moving to the University of Bristol.
Together with Michał Horodecki and Jonathan Oppenheim
, he discovered quantum state-merging
and used this primitive to show that quantum information could be negative http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0505062.
He was awarded the Philip Leverhulme Prize
for Mathematics and Statistics in 2008.
University of Bristol
The University of Bristol is a public research university located in Bristol, United Kingdom. One of the so-called "red brick" universities, it received its Royal Charter in 1909, although its predecessor institution, University College, Bristol, had been in existence since 1876.The University is...

State-merging
In quantum information theory, quantum state merging is the transfer of a quantum state when the receiver already has part of the state. The process optimally transfers partial information using entanglement and classical communication. It allows for sending information using an amount of...
