Ting Gao, Hebei Normal University, China
Dr. Ting Gao is a full professor at the College of Mathematics and Information Science, Hebei Normal University. She received her BSc, MSc, and PhD in Mathematics in China. She has been a visiting scholar at the Max Plank Institute for Quantum Optics, Garching, Germany, at the University of Oregon, Eugene, USA, and visiting professor at the University of Toronto at Toronto, Canada. Prof. Ting Gao won the First Prize of Natural Sciences Award of Hebei Province Government and the Excellence Awards of the Chinese Physical Society. Currently Prof. Ting Gao?? researches focus on quantum information theory. She relates the entanglement of the permutationally invariant part of a density operator of a system to that of the original density matrix, and obtains novel multipartite separability criteria and bounds on nonseparability measures. She also provides a clear quantitative and operational connection between coherence and entanglement.
