QuIT: Quantum Information Theory Group

We investigate how Nature works at its core, and we use this knowledge to develop procedures and protocols to solve everyday problems with a quantum twist. Our approach involves using quantum information theory for practical applications to quantum computation, quantum metrology, quantum cryptography, and quantum technology in general, and to study the foundations of physics.

In particular, we study:

• Quantum computation to develop novel quantum algorithms and noise mitigation strategies.
• Quantum metrology to obtain ultra-precise measurements at the cutting edge of what is physically possible.
• Novel quantum technological applications: quantum neural networks, quantum radars, quantum medical tomography, etc.
• The quantum aspects of time and the physical justifications behind the quantum postulates.
