Geometry of Quantum States: An Introduction to Quantum Entanglement

Ingemar Bengtsson is Professor of Physics at Stockholm University. After gaining a Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics from the University of Göteborg (1984), she held post-doctoral positions at CERN, Geneva, and Imperial College, London. She returned to Göteborg in 1988 as a research assistant at Chalmers University of Technnology, before taking up a position as Lecturer in Physics at Stockholm University in 1993. She was appointed Professor of Physics in 2000. Professor Bengtsson is a member of the Swedish Physical Society and a former board member of its Divisions for Particle Physics and for Gravitation. Her favoured research areas are related to geometry, in the forms of general relativity and quantum mechanics.

Karol Zyckowski is a Professor at the Institute of Physics, Jagiellonian University, Kraków, Poland and also the Center for Theoretical Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw. He gained his Ph.D. (1987) and habilitation (1994) in theoretical physics at Jagiellonian University, and has followed this with a Humboldt Fellowship in Essen, a Fulbright Fellowship at the University of Maryland, College Park and currently a visiting research position at the Perimeter Institute, Waterloo, Ontario. He has been docent at the Academy of Sciences since 1999 and full professor at Jagiellonian University since 2004. Professor Zyczkowski is a member of the Polish Physical Society and the Institute of Physics. He currently serves on the editorial boards of the journals Open Systems and Information Dynamics and Journal of Physics A.
