We invite you to the award ceremony in the Olivia Prize competition for 2025! For the sixth time, we will meet to appreciate the most interesting business, social and economic undertakings of the Residents of the Olivia Centre, as well as to award special prizes to the business environment institutions and young scientists associated with Tri-City universities. Registration required.
A special guest will be Prof. Ph.D. Paweł Horodecki – an outstanding theoretical physicist, one of the founders of the Gdańsk School of Quantum InformaticsJ. He is the leader of the research group at the International Centre for the Theory of Quantum Technologies (ICTQT) at the University of Gdańsk and works at the Department of Theoretical Physics and Quantum Informatics at the Gdańsk University of Technology.
He is a co-author of over 150 scientific papers published in the most prestigious journals (m.in. Physical Review Letters, Nature), which have been cited over 24,000 times (Hirsch index: 71). His most important achievements include the co-discovery of the phenomenon of quantum bound entanglement and the development of the Horodecki criterion, which is a fundamental tool for verifying the entanglement of quantum states.
He regularly ranks in the TOP 2% of the world’s most influential scientists compiled by Stanford University. He is the winner of numerous awards, including the Foundation for Polish Science Award (the so-called Polish Nobel Prize) for his contribution to the development of quantum information theory.
