Connoisseur of fine knowledge. Doctoral researcher in relativistic quantum information, quantum foundations, and artificial intelligence @ University of Innsbruck.
Check out my most recent preprint: “Harvesting Contextuality from the Vacuum.” In it I show that relativistic Unruh-DeWitt qutrits can extract quantum contextuality from the vacuum of a quantum field while being part of a qubit-qutrit system that also harvests entanglement!

Harvesting Contextuality from the Vacuum
Quantum contextuality is the notion that certain measurement scenarios do not admit a global description of their statistics and has been implicated as the source of quantum advantage in a number of q...

Recently my colleague and I were interviewed by a journalist at New Scientist who wrote the piece below on our latest paper “Universal Quantum Computer from Relativistic Motion.” Check it out if you are interested, as well as our paper in Physical Review Letters: journals.aps.org/prl/abstract...

Machine learning helped researchers describe a new kind of quantum computer that harnesses the odd effects of Einstein’s special relativity – and it could also lead to new insights into the quantum realm
We can build quantum computers using the rules of special relativity
