from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dagmar Bruß (* 1963 in Bad Pyrmont ) is a German physicist and professor. She conducts research in the field of quantum information theory with a focus on quantum cryptography .

life and work

Bruß studied physics at RWTH Aachen University and graduated in 1989. In 1990 she obtained a Master of Science degree in Astronomical Technology from Edinburgh University . In 1994 she did her doctorate with Otto Nachtmann at the University of Heidelberg on a topic from elementary particle physics . In 1996 and 1997 she worked at Oxford University as a European Research Fellow at the Clarendon Laboratory with Professor Patrick Sandars and Professor Artur Ekert . In 1997 she changed her main focus to quantum information theory . In 1998 she spent another year as a European Research Fellow in Italy at the Institute for Scientific Interchange in Turin , known for the first major conferences on quantum information. In 1999 she was a research assistant at the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of Hanover , where she completed her habilitation in 2002. Since 2004 she has held a professorship for theoretical physics at Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf . In addition to numerous scientific publications in international journals, she has published a popular science book entitled "Quantum Information". She is co-editor of the International Journal of Quantum Information.
