Thomas Jennewein is an Austrian physicist who conducts research in quantum communication and quantum key distribution. He has taught as an associate professor at the University of Waterloo and the Institute for Quantum Computing in Waterloo, Canada since 2009.[4] He earned his PhD under Anton Zeilinger at the University of Vienna in 2002, during which time he performed experiments on Bell's inequality and cryptography with entangled photons.[5][7] His current work at the Institute for Quantum Computing focuses on satellite-based free space quantum key distribution, with the goal of creating a global quantum network.[9][10]

He is also an affiliate of the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics,[11] a fellow of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research,[1] and CEO and co-founder of quantum optics measurement device company UQDevices alongside physicist Raymond Laflamme.[12]
