Benjamin Schiffer
I am a PhD candidate in the Theory Division of the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, working on algorithms for quantum simulators and quantum computers.
My research is driven by the goal of realizing scientifically useful applications for quantum computers and lies at the intersection of physics, mathematics and computer science.
