Dominik Hangleiter

Dominik is a quantum scientist working at the interface between computer science, physics, and philosophy of quantum science. In his research, he explores the potential of quantum computing devices and tries to understand the physical mechanisms giving rise to quantum speedups. He is particularly interested in fault-tolerant computations and the role interference plays in quantum computation. He also enjoys thinking about methodological and philosophical aspects of science. Dominik studied physics, philosophy, and mathematics in Konstanz, Oxford and Munich, received his PhD from Freie Universität Berlin in 2020, and was a Hartree Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Maryland from 2021 to 2024.
