About

Professor of quantum physics @ FU Berlin and affiliated with HZB. I am developing new technological applications based on insights into quantum mechanics and try to understand the complexity of complex quantum systems. It is characteristic for my work to make use of tools of theoretical physics and mathematics, but to apply them to pragmatically motivated problems. On the basis of my work, I have been awarded two ERC grants, a EURYI award (the predecessor of the ERC StG), and a Google NISQ award.
