Michal Horodecki https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0446-3059 is a co-founder of entanglement theory. His most recognized achievements are co-discovering bound entanglement, and quantum state merging. Author of about 140 publications. He also worked on random quantum circuits and quantum cryptography. Recently he was involved in quantum thermodynamics, developing the so called resource theory of thermodynamics. His present interests include quantum thermal machines and open quantum systems.
The group New Quantum Resources and Quantum Thermodynamics deals with a broad spectrum of topics, related to such resources as nonlocality/contextuality, entanglement, randomness, random quantum circuits and others.
Specific research tasks of the group include:
- Thermal operations
- The notion of work in micro regime
- Dynamical description of thermal quantum machines
- Limitations of Markovian evolution
- Contextuality/nonlocality
- Quantum gates, t-designs, random circuits
- Port based teleportation
- Quantum error correction
- Randomness amplification/extraction, secret key extraction
- Bell inequalities
