Charles H. Bennett (1943) is an American thinker, physicist and information theory pioneer with astonishingly broad interests. He is best known for his research into the surprising interconnections between physics, especially the quantum branch, and information. He is one of the founding fathers of quantum cryptography and a co-author of the revolutionary concept of quantum teleportation. But that you'll find out on the Internet.
Written, filmed, and edited by Karol Jalochowski
Music by Boyd F.C. Bennett as arranged and performed by Jan Bokszczanin
Pioneers is one and only project devoted to the most unorthodox contemporary thinkers who have had the courage to challenge current paradigms. The emotions of discovering and stress-testing new theories; the passion which prompts one to go against the expectations of others, against the “publish or perish” model; the joys and sorrows of exploring frontiers of the known and the unknown – this is what the series is about.
