Mohamed Bourennane (Arabic: محمد بورنان, born 2 May 1962) is an Algerian physicist noted for both his theoretical and experimental work on quantum communication and multi-photon entanglement. Bourennane is a professor at Stockholm University and an elected member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences since 2014.[1][2][3]

Education

Mohamed Bourennane came from a working class background, his father was a train driver for Algeria's rail operator SNTF. Bourennane attended the Al-Ghazali high school in Laghouat, concluding his baccalaureate in science in 1981. Later, Bourennane attended the University of Science and Technology - Houari Boumediene (USTHB), obtaining a Diplôme d'Études Supérieures (DES) in 1985 and a Magister degree in 1988, both in Theoretical Physics.[4] He was awarded his PhD in 2001 by the Royal Institute of Technology, in Stockholm, Sweden. Afterward, Bourennane worked as a postdoctoral researcher at LMU Munich, in Munich, and the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics, in Garching, both in Germany.[5][6]

Research

Bourennane has made contributions for the fields of quantum communication,[7][8][9] and multi-photon entanglement[10] being better known for his contributions to quantum key distribution using multi-level quantum systems.[11][12][13] He has published over 170 articles across the fields of quantum information, quantum optics and foundations of quantum physics.[14][15] Currently, he directs the Quantum Information and Quantum Optics group at Stockholm University, which he founded in February 2005.[16][17]

Some of Bourennane's most important contributions include the first experimental detection of genuine multipartite entanglement via witness operators,[18] the first experimental device-independent tests of classical and quantum dimensions[19] and measurement-device-independent entanglement witnessing.[20]

He is currently part of the National Quantum Communication Infrasctructure in Sweden (NQCIS), a consortium working to establish a quantum communication network in the country.[21][22] Since 2022, Bourennane is also a standing member of the National Council for Scientific Research and Technologies in Algeria (CNRST).[23][24]

Upon his appointment to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 2014, Bourennane became simultaneously the first Arab, Muslim and African member of the Academy.[4]
