I am a PhD student jointly affiliated with the Software Modeling and Verification Group headed by Professor Joost-Pieter Katoen and the Chair for Quantum Information Systems headed by Professor Dominique Unruh.
Research
My research focuses on deductive verification of quantum programs. In more detail, I work with Quantum Weakest Preconditions, a method to compute the best predicate, that ensures that a given postcondition holds after the quantum program is executed. I consider quantum programs from a theoretical point of view, that means everything I do is based on linear algebra.
Thesis projects
If you are interested in writing a Bachelor’s or Master’s thesis about formal verification of quantum programs, don’t hesitate to contact me.
