OUR TEAM

Faculty

Adam Sawicki, Professor

Group Leader
I am a professor of mathematical physics specializing (among others) in quantum information theory. I work at the Center for Theoretical Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences (Warsaw).
The main topics I’m interested in are:
  •  description of quantum entanglement in many body systems and quantum marginal problem
  • classification of quantum statistics (anyons) on quantum graphs and quantum networks
  • characterisation of isospectral/isoscattering quantum graphs using representation theory of finite groups
  • universality criteria for quantum gates
  • t-designs and ε-nets
  • efficiency of quantum gates and random walks on compact groups
  • membership problem for quantum gate-sets

Marek Kuś, Professor

Group member

I am a mathematical physicist. I am a  professor at the Center for Theoretical Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences and at International Center for Formal Ontology at Warsaw Technical University

My areas of scientific activities encompass: 

  • Quantum information theory (in particular, theory of quantum correlations), 
  • Quantum chaos (transitions from quantum to classical in quantum nonlinear systems), 
  • Information geometry
  • Fundamentals of quantum mechanics and philosophy of mathematics and physics

PhD Students

Oskar Słowik

PhD Student

By education, I am a mathematician, theoretical physicist and computer scientist. My scientific interests span a wide range of topics within those three subjects. My main area of research is mathematical and quantum physics, specifically applications of geometry and topology in quantum information and computation.

The main topics of my current research are:

  • efficient quantum gates and quantum compilers
  • shallow quantum circuits and random walks on compact groups
  • geometry and topology of quantum correlations
  • the computational complexity of chosen problems in quantum information
  • elements of Quantum Machine Learning

Lorenzo Mattioli

PhD Student

I did my MSc degree in theoretical particle physics. I joined the group in October 2018 and I currently work on membership problems for quantum gates and Hamiltonians.

Students
