Christoph Simon is Professor at the University of Calgary. He has made significant contributions to the fields of quantum optics and quantum information, often in the form of proposals for experiments or experimental research programs. His most significant contributions are in the fields of long-distance quantum communication (entanglement creation, quantum repeaters, entanglement purification, quantum memories) and of trying to bring quantum physics to the macroscopic level (quantum opto-mechanics, quantum amplification, multi-party entanglement).
