Research[]
Woronowicz and Erling Størmer classified positive maps in low-dimensional cases,[1] which translate to the Peres-Horodecki criterion in the context of quantum information theory. He is also known for contributions to quantum groups.
Awards[]
Woronowicz was awarded Humboldt Research Prize in 2008,[2] and Stefan Banach Medal of the Polish Academy of Sciences in 2009.[3]
