He was awarded his PhD in 2001 by the Royal Institute of Technology, in Stockholm, Sweden. Afterward, Bourennane worked as a postdoctoral researcher at LMU Munich, in Munich, and the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics, in Garching, both in Germany.
Research
Bourennane has made contributions for the fields of quantum communication, and multi-photon entanglement being better known for his contributions to quantum key distribution using multi-level quantum systems. He has published over 170 articles across the fields of quantum information, quantum optics and foundations of quantum physics. Currently, he directs the Quantum Information and Quantum Optics group at Stockholm University, which he founded in February 2005.

Why this record matters
“Mohamed Bourennane” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Mohamed, Bourennane and researcher provides the most credible route into that argument.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q114513116. VIAF identifies the subject as 186150746957716300119. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1962, 2014, 1981 and 1985.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
