We develop and implement algorithms for solving difficult optimization problems on different quantum platforms using Quantum Annealing (QA) and the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA). Application-wise we mostly focus on life science problems, where the group has a long history. For implementation and verification, we employ the D-Wave quantum annealer at the Jülich Supercomputing Centre for QA and gate-based quantum hardware from IBM for QAOA. The results so far look promising.

Our research sits at the crossroads of attosecond physics and quantum information. We specialize in developing cutting-edge experimental techniques to measure the quantum properties of photoelectrons. These methods are applied to investigate and control entanglement and decoherence dynamics in atoms and molecules ionized by ultrashort extreme ultraviolet light pulses.
