Matthew F. Pusey is a Ph.D. student in the Quantum Information Theory Group and the Quantum Optics and Laser Science Research Group of the Department of Physics at Imperial College London.
He is the principal author of an arXiv preprint[1] that states the theorem that either the quantum state corresponds to a physically real object and is not merely a statistical tool, or else all quantum states, including non-entangled ones, can communicate by action at a distance. This preliminary result has been referred to as "Pusey's theorem".[2]
