He is best known for introducing (together with his father Ryszard Horodecki and brother Michał Horodecki) the so-called Peres-Horodecki criterion for testing whether a state is entangled.
He is best known for introducing (together with his father Ryszard Horodecki and brother Michał Horodecki) the so-called Peres-Horodecki criterion for testing whether a state is entangled.
Moreover, Paweł Horodecki demonstrated that there exist states which are entangled whereas no pure entangled states can be obtained from them by means of local operations and classical communication (LOCC). Such states are called bound entangled states. Paweł Horodecki was educated in Poland, receiving an M.Sc from the University of Gdańsk (1995), and a Doctor of Philosophy (with honours) from the Gdańsk University of Technology (1999), and a habilitation (with honours) from the University of Gdańsk (2004).
