​​​

Wolfgang Dür is Professor for Theoretical Physics at the University of Innsbruck, leading the Quantum Communication and Quantum Networks group. He is interested in all aspects of quantum information theory, where he has contributed to various topics, including quantum communication, measurement-based quantum computation, quantum metrology, macroscopic quantum systems and multipartite entanglement. He has co-invented the W-states and the quantum repeater, which was later on recognized as one of the fundamental elements for long-distance quantum communication. He worked on various aspects of quantum communication and quantum networks in the last 20 years, including protocols for entanglement purification and error correction, repeater schemes for bi- and multipartite systems and network architectures.
