Contents
Braunstein has written or edited three books and has published more than one hundred and thirty papers, which have been cited over twenty-two thousand times. His most important work was on quantum teleportation, and published in a paper titled Unconditional Quantum Teleportation. The paper has been cited more than two thousand seven hundred times and has 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.
Braunstein co-authored papers with Gilles Brassard and Simone Severini, with whom he introduced the Braunstein-Ghosh-Severini Entropy of a graph.
Education
He completed his PhD in 1988 at Caltech, under Carlton M. Caves with a thesis entitled: Novel Quantum States and Measurements.
