Masahito Hayashi

Masahito Hayashi is a Japanese professor working on quantum statistical inference and quantum information theory. He is known for his contributions to statistical inference for quantum systems and has published several books on the topics. Hayashi was a part of a team that reproved the generalized Quantum Stein's Lemma which was published at roughly the same time as the proof by Ludivico Lami.

Hayashi was named an IEEE fellow in 2017 for his contributions to Shannon theory, information-theoretic security, and quantum information theory. Hayashi was selected to be a fellow of the Asia Pacific Artificial Intelligence Association in 2022, the same year he became a fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics.
