Stephen J. Wiesner (1942 – August 12, 2021) was an American-Israeli research physicist, inventor and construction laborer. He discovered many important ideas in quantum information theory, including quantum money[1] (which led to quantum key distribution), quantum multiplexing[2] (the earliest example of oblivious transfer) and superdense coding.[3] He worked at Tel Aviv University.[4][5]
