Christine Muschik

Assistant Professor

Christine Muschik​Dr. Muschik is an expert in the theory of quantum communication and quantum simulation. Quantum communication exploits the features of quantum mechanical systems for advantages in communication tasks, such as unbreakable security or significant reductions in the resources required to send a message. Quantum simulation uses one type of quantum system, over which one has complete control, to mimic the behaviour of another, where over control is limited or non existent. Quantum simulation has the potential to guide the development of new materials or complex molecules and expand our understanding of fundamental physics.
