References of M. Pavicic:
Head of 3 federal projects in the fields of quantum mechanics, quantum
optics, and quantum information in the past 15 years;
wrote over 35 papers in jurnals indexed in the Current Contents
(1 together with 3 other authors, 16 with another author, and the others as
a single author), average impact factor (IF): 1.25, Erdos number: 2, invited speaker at
over 15 international conferences (all presented by myself as the only author),
organizer of several conferences, author
of a
recent (2006) Springer book in the field, author of two chapters in the
Handbook of Quantum Logic (to be published with Elsevier),
Senior Fulbright Fellow,
Humboldt Fellow (former president (2001-05) of the
Croatian Humboldt-Club),
referee for the numerous top journals (Phys. Rev. Lett. (over 20 reports),
Phys. Rev A (over 20 reports), Optics Lett., J. Opt. Soc. Am. B,
Opt. Commun., etc.), visiting professor at several top universities in USA,
Germany, Austria, France, and Italy (altogether over 4 years; given numerous
invited lectures at that and other universities). Details given
in CV-1
and CV-2.
Achievements include:
formulation of a four port interaction-free atom-photon CNOT gate for quantum computation (2006)
co-discovery of exhaustive algorithms
for generating arbitrary Kochen--Specker vectors (2005)
co-formulation of several new quantum implication algebras (2003)
co-discovery of a new infinite class of equations for subspaces of any
infinite dimensional Hilbert space (2000)
co-discovery of algorithms for Greechie diagrams (2000)
co-discovery of a nonorthomodular model for quantum logic (1999)
discovery of a nondistributive model for classical logic (1999)
discovery of an interaction-free destruction of atom interference pattern (1996)
co-formulation of a resonator interaction-free experiment (1996)
discovery of polarization correlation between beams of unpolarized
light (1994)
discovery of spin entanglement of two unpolarized photons from two
photon pairs due to a non-spin detection of the other two photons - tantamount to
teleportation (1993)
proof of the equivalence of all five quantum implications in
quantum logic (1987) and in
orthomodular lattices (1989)
proof of Pauli nonuniqueness for real states (1987)
