Stephanie Wehner

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stephanie Dorothea Christine Wehner (born May 8, 1977 in Würzburg ) is a German physicist and computer scientist. She is the head of the Quantum Internet and Networked Computing initiative at QuTech at Delft University of Technology and is known for introducing the noise memory model in quantum cryptography . Wehner's research focuses mainly on quantum cryptography and quantum communication. Together with Jonathan Oppenheim , she discovered that the proportion of non-locality in quantum mechanics is limited by the uncertainty principle.

Career

She studied at the University of Amsterdam and did her PhD at the CWI . She then moved to Caltech as a postdoctoral fellow (under John Preskill ).

Wehner dealt with computer security, for example kernel rootkits, and worked as a professional hacker.

From 2010 to 2014 Wehner was Assistant Professor and later Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the National University of Singapore and Senior Scientist at the Center for Quantum Technologies. In 2014 she started as Associate Professor at QuTech, Delft University of Technology, and has been Antoni van Leeuwenhoek Professor at Delft University of Technology since 2016.

QCRYPT conference

In 2011, Wehner and others founded the QCRYPT conference series, which has been held annually at different locations around the world ever since. The last meeting was in 2019 in Montreal ( Canada organized).

Quantum Internet Alliance

Stephanie Wehner is the coordinator of the Quantum Internet Alliance, which was awarded ten million euros by the European Commission in October 2018. She commented on the award with the possibility of keeping Europe at the forefront of this fascinating area of ​​research and technological development.
