Richard Jozsa FRS is an Australian mathematician who holds the Leigh Trapnell Chair in Quantum Physics at the University of Cambridge.[3] He is a fellow of King's College, Cambridge, where his research investigates quantum information science. A pioneer of his field, he is the co-author of the Deutsch–Jozsa algorithm and one of the co-inventors of quantum teleportation.
Education
[edit]Jozsa received his Doctor of Philosophy degree on twistor theory[4] at Oxford, under the supervision of Roger Penrose.[2]
Career and research
[edit]Jozsa has held previous positions at the University of Bristol, the University of Plymouth and the Université de Montréal.
Awards and honours
[edit]His work was recognised in 2004 by the London Mathematical Society with the award of the Naylor Prize for 'his fundamental contributions to the new field of quantum information science'.[5] Since 2016, Jozsa is a member of the Academia Europaea.[6]
