Research Interests Quantum information theory, quantum computing and quantum cryptography. I study the absolute limits that physics places on information processing, and how to exploit physical effects to accomplish otherwise impossible communication and computing tasks. Selected Recent Papers * Quantum computation vs. firewalls * Two-message quantum interactive proofs and the quantum separability problem * Summoning information in spacetime, or where and when can a qubit be? * Information trade-offs for optical quantum communication * Towards the fast scrambling conjecture * Holographic mutual information is monogamous * From low-distortion norm embeddings to explicit uncertainty relations and efficient information locking * Weak decoupling duality and quantum identification * Black holes as mirrors: Quantum information in random subsystems * Counterexamples to the maximal p-norm multiplicativity conjecture for all p > 1 More... Prospective Students I am currently recruiting M.Sc. and Ph.D. students. If you love computer science, mathematics and physics, and have a strong background in at least two of them, please apply!
