Bennett, an American physicist at IBM Research, & Brassard, a Canadian computer scientist at the Université de Montréal, have collaborated over four decades incorporating quantum principles into computational models.

“Bennett and Brassard fundamentally changed our understanding of information itself,” said ACM President Yannis Ioannidis. “Their insights expanded the boundaries of computing and set in motion decades of discovery across disciplines.”

Join us in applauding their pioneering work!
