Group of Dr. René Schwonnek

Our research in quantum information theory lies at the interface of physics, mathematics, and theoretical computer science. Our current focus areas range from application-oriented questions in quantum cryptography and hardware-level quantum computing to the investigation of fundamental structures such as uncertainty, entanglement, and the measurability of quantum systems.

A large part of our work is carried out within the framework of larger interdisciplinary projects and collaborative research initiatives. Together with partners from other academic disciplines, non-university research institutions, and industry, we develop methods, models, and prototypes with the goal of systematically bringing new quantum technologies closer to real-world requirements.

If you are interested in collaboration or specific topics, we would be pleased to hear from you. For testing, evaluation, and consulting in the field of quantum technologies—particularly for inquiries from industry—we are available through QVLS (https://qvls.de/de/) and the Quics Testing and Consulting Center (https://quics.gwdg.de/). You are welcome to contact us directly for this purpose. We continuously offer Master’s and Bachelor’s thesis projects, including interdisciplinary topics. We are always open to new project ideas.
