Wolfgang Tittel studied Physics at the University of Frankfurt in Germany, was a Ph.D. student at the University of Geneva in Switzerland with Nicolas Gisin, and did post doctoral work at the University of Aarhus / Denmark and again in Geneva. He joined the Department of Physics and Astronomy and the Institute for Quantum Information Science at the University of Calgary as Associate Professor and iCORE Industrial Research Chair in July 2006, and is also affiliated to the Centre for Information Security and Cryptography.
Dr. Tittel engaged in ground-breaking experiments in the field of quantum communication from the early stages on. The investigations were seminal in bringing quantum cryptography out of the laboratory and into the real world using a standard telecommunication fibre network, thereby raising both scientific and public awareness and appreciation that quantum technology is not restricted to contrived laboratory settings.
His current interests include practical quantum cryptography, quantum relays, and quantum memory. During his career, Dr. Tittel authored or co-authored over 40 articles in refereed journals, cited in total more than 2500 times. He is a member of the American Physical Society, and the German Physical Society.
