Draft:Andrzej Dragan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: Two copies of this page have been created, in draft space and in article space. It is not necessary to create two copies of the same page, and it annoys the reviewers.
    If the article either is ready for the encyclopedia or appears to be ready for the encyclopedia, the draft will be redirected to the article. However, the article could have been moved into article space instead.
    If the article does not appear to be ready for the encyclopedia, the article may be nominated for deletion, and the draft will be kept.
    This draft is either essentially the same as the article with the same name, or a subset of the article with the same name. The draft will be replaced by a redirect from draft space to the article. Robert McClenon (talk) 06:37, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: I think this is potentially notable, but the sources cited fall short of WP:GNG, with only the Wired article fully meeting that standard, and it alone not being enough. Possibly also notable under WP:NACADEMIC and/or WP:CREATIVE, but in that case the author should clearly state which of the various criteria they wish to assert and what evidence supports this.

Andrzej Dragan is a Polish theoretical physicist, science communicator, photographer, filmmaker and composer. Dragan is a teaching and research professor at the University of Warsaw working on quantum information. In photography, he is known for the Dragan effect.[1][2][3][4]

Research and career

[edit]

Dragan studied at the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw where he attained his PhD.[2]

He worked at the Imperial College London and the University of Nottingham.[2] He is also a visiting research associate professor at the National University of Singapore.[2]

His research topics include quantum optics, relativistic quantum information,[5] theory of relativity, and quantum field theory.[2] His recent collaboration with Artur Ekert resulted in a series of papers which propose that extending special relativity to include faster-than-light inertial observers directly leads to the existence of the quantum behaviors we observe in nature.[6][7]

Photography

[edit]

Dragan published works include portraits of many known personalities from the world of film, art and politics.[1][2][3][4]
