Hats off & hat on: Dr. Timo Eckstein!
Congratulations to Dr. Timo Eckstein for very successfully defending his cumulative doctoral thesis, “Using Symmetries for Near-Term Quantum Computing”
His works focus on algorithm development for current and near-term quantum computing platforms. Symmetries, which are mathematically described by groups, divide the full space of possibilities, the Hilbert space, into smaller sectors. If a symmetry is conserved within an application, then one of these smaller symmetry sectors will be sufficient to model it. Therefore, our works incorporate symmetries like translational invariance, time-periodicity or electron number conservation to improve algorithms for relevant system classes compared to symmetry-unaware standard methods.
