Vlatko Vedral FInstP is a Serbian-born (and naturalised British citizen) physicist and Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Oxford and Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) at the National University of Singapore and a Fellow of Wolfson College, Oxford.[1] He is known for his research on the theory of Entanglement and Quantum Information Theory. As of 2017 he has published over 280 research papers in quantum mechanics and quantum information and was awarded the Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award in 2007. He has held a Lectureship and Readership at Imperial College, a Professorship at Leeds and visiting professorships in Vienna, Singapore (NUS) and at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Canada.[citation needed] As of 2017 there are over 18,000 citations of Vedral's research papers.[1] He is the author of several books, including Decoding Reality.[4]

Education[]

After completing secondary education at Mathematical Grammar School (Matematička gimnazija), he received his Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees from Imperial College London, where he graduated with a PhD in 1998.[2][5] 

Career and research[]

After his PhD, Vedral was appointed Elsag-Bailey postdoctoral research fellow in Oxford. He then held a research fellowship at Merton College, Oxford returning to Imperial College as the Governor’s lecturer to start a quantum information science research group, a position he held from 2000-2004. Before returning to Oxford, he was centenary professor of quantum information science at the University of Leeds from 2004 to 2009.[6] As of 2009, he has held joint appointments as a Professor of Physics and the University of Oxford and the Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) at the National University of Singapore. He was appointed Fellow of Wolfson College, Oxford in 2009.
