Hi, I am Henrik Wilming and I do quantum physics.
I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the quantum information theory group of Leibniz University Hannover (led by Tobias Osborne and Robert Raussendorf). Previously, I was a researcher in the quantum information theory group of Renato Renner at ETH Zurich. I did my PhD in Jens Eisert's group at FU Berlin.

I am always happy to receive e-mails regarding my work, so please feel invited to send any questions or comments. My CV is available on request.

Research interest

My research focusses on the following topics and the connections between them:
  • Quantum information theory
  • Entanglement in complex quantum systems
  • Non-equilibirum dynamics of many-body systems
  • Mathematical physics
  • Statistical physics and foundations of thermodynamics
  • Most of my publications can be found on the arXiv.
