Faculty member has been named a . He is recognized for his “pioneering theoretical contributions to the fields of quantum secure communications and optical quantum information processing.”
ճ(APS) is the world's second largest organization of physicists. The Society publishes more than a dozen scientific journals, including the prestigious Ի. Fellowship is a distinct honour signifying recognition by one’s professional peers.
Before joining the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) and the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of ݮƵ in 2011, Lütkenhaus led an Emmy-Noether Research Group at the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg. At IQC, Lütkenhaus’ research focuses on finding advantageous quantum communication protocols, including secure Quantum Key Distribution (QKD). His research aims to bridge the gap between a theoretical computer-sciences based approach to quantum communication and its physical implementation.
