PhD Students
Oskar Słowik
PhD StudentBy 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. My PhD supervisor is Prof. Adam Sawicki.
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
Jan Głowacki
PhD studentI am a PhD student at the Center for Theoretical Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences (Warsaw). My PhD supervisor is Prof. Marek Kuś. I am interested in a variety of topics in theoretical and mathematical physics, including:
The main topics of my current research are:
- relational approaches to quantum theory (quantum reference frames and beyond)
- reconstructions of (relational) quantum theory
- statistical (quantum) physics with Bayesian inference
- General Relativity as as emergent framework
