Vjosa Blakaj, postdoc
Vjosa Blakaj was employed on 1 October 2025 as a postdoc in the department’s Analysis & Quantum section, affiliated with the Centre for the Mathematics of Quantum Theory.
Vjosa completed her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in mathematics at the University of Prishtina, Kosovo, and the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany, respectively, and earned her PhD in mathematics at TUM in March 2025 under the supervision of Michael M. Wolf.
Her research sits at the intersection of mathematical physics and quantum information theory. In her doctoral work, she used tools from real algebraic geometry and transcendental number theory to determine when asymptotic settings, infinite resources, or transcendental methods are indispensable for quantum information processing tasks—and when single-letter formulas, finite resources, or algebraic techniques suffice.
She was a fellow of the International Max Planck Research School for Quantum Science and Technology (IMPRS-QST) at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching. From April to September 2025, she was part of Florian Marquardt’s theory group at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light, where she worked with Daniel Burgarth.
Since October 2025, she has been a postdoctoral researcher with Matthias Christandl.
