Albert Werner, Associate Professor
The dean has promoted Albert Werner to Associate Professor on the promotion programme.
Albert is affiliated with the section Analysis & Quantum, working in the Centre for the Mathematics of Quantum Theory and the Quantum for Life centre.
Albert's research interests are at the intersection of mathematical physics and quantum information theory. He has worked on problems in quantum simulation and quantum computing as well as on quantum many-body theory, tensor networks and random operator theory.
With quantum information processing being on the brink of becoming a technology, one of his motivations is to understand the impact of noise - and experimental imperfections on the ability of quantum systems to perform quantum computations - to allow for the development of more robust quantum algorithms.
Albert graduated from the Technical University of Braunschweig (Germany) and was, until 2013, a PhD student in the group of Reinhard F. Werner at the Leibniz University of Hannover. He subsequently worked as a Postdoc at the Dahlem Centre for Complex Quantum Systems at the Freie Universität Berlin. In 2016, he joined the QMATH Centre at the University of Copenhagen with a Feodor-Lynen-Research-Fellowship awarded by the Alexander-von-Humboldt Foundation in Germany.
