David Alexander Jaklitsch

David Alexander Jaklitsch is a Research Fellow at the Department of Mathematics, University of Oslo. He is part of the cross-disciplinary QOMBINE project focusing on Mathematics for quantum computation and many-body theory, collaborating with Makoto Yamashita. His research investigates categorical Morita equivalence in tensor categories and its applications to state sum 3D oriented topological field theories.

Previously, he completed his PhD at Universität Hamburg under supervision of Jürgen Fuchs, César Galindo, and Christoph Schweigert within the Quantum Universe Research School. His doctoral work examined interactions between duals, pivotal structures, and categorical Morita equivalence.

He is affiliated with the Operator Algebras research group at the University of Oslo. His current research bridges algebraic structures in quantum theory and mathematical physics.
