Nicolas Gisin (born 1952) is a Swiss physicist and professor at the University of Geneva working on quantum information and communication, as well as on the foundations of quantum mechanics.
His work includes both experimental and theoretical physics.
He contributed significant work on the fields of experimental quantum cryptography and long distance quantum communication in standard telecom optical fibres.
As a theoretician, Gisin brought deep insights into quantum mechanics.
He is also the first to develop quantum information technology to such a level that it was for the first time possible to take it out of the lab and into the commercial world: he co-founded ID Quantique, a spin-off company which quickly developed into one of the world leaders in the field of quantum information and communication technologies.
