William Wootters is an American physicist known for his contributions to the fields of quantum information theory and quantum mechanics. He is particularly recognized for his work on the concept of quantum entanglement and the theoretical aspects of quantum computation. One of his most notable contributions is the development of the Wootters theory regarding the measurement of qubits and the concept of entanglement measures, such as the "Wootters' concurrence," which helps quantify the degree of entanglement between quantum states.
