Andrew G. White

Andrew G. White is an Australian scientist who researches in quantum optics, quantum information science and fundamental quantum science. His highly cited publications include work on how to create and detect an optical vortex,^[1] sources of quantum entanglement,^[2] quantum tomography,^[3] and demonstration of the first entangling version of a quantum logic gates.^[4]

As of 2010^[update], he is: Professor in Physics at the University of Queensland; Director of its Quantum Technology Laboratory;^[5] Deputy-Director of the ARC Centre for Engineered Quantum systems,^[6] and a Program Manager in the ARC Centre for Quantum Computer and Communication Technology.^[7] (He has been a founding member of three Australian Research Council Centres of Excellence,^[8][9][10]).
