Why this person is here
Shared the 2025 A.M. Turing Award with Charles Bennett for work ACM describes as foundational to quantum information science. ACM's biographical note says he joined the Université de Montréal faculty after a Cornell PhD and held a Canada Research Chair in Quantum Information Science from 2001 to 2021. He is the co-author of BB84 and of the 1993 quantum-teleportation result, which turned entanglement into a usable resource.
How it connects to the data on this site
The teleportation and entanglement-distillation results are the theoretical ancestry of the quantum-networking announcements this site files under communication rather than computing, and they explain why a protocol paper is not a financing event.

Verification status: pending. Sources are institutional or first-party pages checked on 2026-11-06, but a link is not a verification — the current wording of each affiliation still needs a line-by-line human pass.
