I am enthusiastic about future technologies, I am particularly excited about developments in physics, electrical engineering, and computer science, which has led me to studying physics. I have finished my PhD in quantum physics within the Doctoral Programme Atoms, Light, and Molecules at the University of Innsbruck in 2020. After that, I have conducted research as Postdoc at the University of Innsbruck for one year.
On small scales, physics are governed by the laws of quantum mechanics, which, strikingly, may be exploited in order to gain an advantage in information processing tasks leading to pioneering new technologies such as quantum cryptography or quantum computation. These prospects have stirred my inner drive to understand complex systems and my studies on quantum physics.

My take on briefly explaining Quantum Information Theory
This short article (which is in parts an excerpt from my Dissertation) is my personal attempt at briefly explaining the research field of Quantum Information Theory to a technologically interested non-expert in quantum physics.

As a small hobby project, I have created a modest computer game utilizing 3D graphics, reminiscent of Tetris. This diverting 2-player game for Windows may be downloaded here.
