footnotes =Samuel Leon Braunstein (born in
Melbourne , 1961) is a professor in theComputer Science department at theUniversity of York , UK. He heads a research group in non-standard computation, and has a particular interest inquantum information and quantum computation.Braunstein has written or edited three books, and has published more than eighty papers. His most important work was on
quantum teleportation , and published in a paper titled "Unconditional Quantum Teleportation". The paper has been cited more than five hundred times and has received significant coverage in both the scientific and mainstream press.In February 2006, Braunstein made the news due to his involvement in the first successful demonstration of Quantum telecloning.

Braunstein has an
Erdős number of 3, having co-authored papers withGilles Brassard and Simone Severini.Education
He completed his PhD in 1988 at
Caltech , underCarlton M. Caves with a thesis entitled: "Novel Quantum States and Measurements."Academic career
