Randomness in Quantum Information

Welcome to the website of Markus Heinrich. I am a senior researcher at the University of Cologne, interested in topics in quantum information and quantum computing related to randomness.

My research focus is on developing efficient randomization techniques based on random quantum circuits and exploiting these to build scalable methods for the characterization of errors in quantum devices, as well as for property learning in quantum many-body systems. In particular, I have done substantial work on randomized benchmarking and classical shadows. For more details on my research, click here.

I am also co-organizing the Workshop on Random Quantum Circuits, the first edition of which took place in November 2024 in Amsterdam, and will be continued on a bi-yearly basis.
