In 1993 Bennett and Brassard, in collaboration with Claude Crepeau, Richard Jozsa, Asher Peres, and William Wootters, discovered
"quantum teleportation,"
and in 1995-7, working with Smolin, Wootters, IBM's David DiVincenzo, and other collaborators, he helped found the quantitative theory of entanglement.
Recently he has worked on the capacities for quantum channels and interactions to simulate one another and the trade-offs among communications resources.
Charles Bennett is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, and a member of the National Academy of Sciences.
