Robert Spekkens is a theoretical quantum physicist working in the fields of quantum foundations and quantum information. He is known for his work on epistemic view of quantum states[1][2] (e.g. the Spekkens toy model), quantum contextuality[3][4], quantum resource theories[5][6][7][8][9] and quantum causality[10][11]. He co-edited the book "Quantum Theory: Informational Foundations and Foils"[12].
Career[edit]
Spekkens is a faculty member[13] and the leader of the quantum causal inference initiative at Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. He regularly teaches the course on quantum foundations in the PSI master's program.
He is an adjunct faculty[14] in the Department of Physics of the University of Waterloo and an adjunct research fellow[13] in the Centre for Quantum Dynamics of Griffith University in Brisbane, Australia.
