Research Agenda: Quantum computing can be realized by performing measurements on so-called graph states consisting of many entangled photons. Semiconductor quantum dots are excellent sources of single photons. Due to their spin degree of freedom, quantum dots also can emit small photonic graph states. For quantum computing, many small graph states need to be fused into one large multi-dimensional cluster state. I investigate good strategies for realizing such a construction given realistic experimental constraints.

Short Bio:  I studied physics at RWTH Aachen University and did my Master's thesis at the research center in Jülich (Peter Grünberg Institute). Afterward, I did a Ph.D. at the University of Basel. During my Ph.D., I investigated the optical properties of semiconductor quantum dots. My research focus in Basel was the so-called radiative Auger effect that our team demonstrated in the single-photon limit. Now, I work at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen where I investigate photonic graph states.
