Jakob Miller, ph.d.-studerende

Jakob kommer oprindeligt fra Augsburg, en by i det sydlige Tyskland, men har boet i Schweiz i de sidste seks år. Der studerede han Interdisciplinary Sciences, en kombination af fysik og kemi, på hans bachelor og fysik på hans kandidat, begge på ETH Zürich.

“During my Master's, I worked on randomness extractors, which are classical functions that can be used to transform imperfect sources of randomness into perfect ones. Randomness extractors are, for example, essential to guarantee the security of quantum random number generators or quantum key distribution,” fortæller Jakob.

“In my PhD, I wish to continue working in quantum cryptography and to investigate the question of why some extractor constructions that are secure against classical adversaries fail in the presence of adversaries utilising quantum devices, whereas other extractor constructions remain secure in this case. My supervisor will be Matthias Christandl.”

“Additional topics that I have worked on previously and would like to learn more about are quantum computing, in particular the different physical platforms on which quantum computers may be realised, as well as what fundamental limits to measure time using quantum systems exist."

Uden for universitetet kan Jakob godt lide at besøge kunstgallerier eller historiske museer, gå i genbrugsbutikker, træne og passe sine kaktusser og sukkulenter.

Du kan møde Jakob i Vibenshuset, kontor V01-4-25.
