Géza Giedke

Géza Giedke is an Ikerbasque Research Professor at the Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC) in Donostia-San Sebastián, Spain. His research focuses on quantum information theory and its implementation in solid-state and quantum optical systems, with particular emphasis on entanglement, quantum channels, and the dynamics of open quantum systems.

His educational background includes a Dr. rer. nat. (Doctor of Natural Sciences) from the University of Innsbruck, Austria. Prior to his current position, he has held research positions at the University of Innsbruck (Austria), Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching and Technical University of Munich (Germany), and ETH Zurich (Switzerland).

Dr. Giedke's research interests span multiple areas of quantum physics and quantum information science. His work explores the theoretical foundations of quantum information processing while also addressing practical implementation challenges in solid-state systems. He has made significant contributions to understanding entanglement in fermionic systems, quantum channels, and the application of quantum information concepts to condensed matter physics. His recent work has increasingly focused on quantum phenomena in graphene-based nanostructures and their potential for quantum information processing applications. His publication record demonstrates a strong trajectory from fundamental quantum information theory to more applied work connecting quantum information concepts with condensed matter physics, particularly in the realm of graphene nanostructures and quantum transport phenomena.

Dr. Giedke has secured significant research funding, including the recently granted GRAFIQ project (2023-2027) on 'Harnessing quantum spin states, dynamics, and transport in graphene-based nanostructures' and the TENINT project (2023-2025) on 'Tensor network methods for interacting electrons in quasi-1d graphene nanostructures.'

He actively mentors PhD students and postdoctoral researchers, currently supervising several researchers working on various aspects of quantum information in solid-state systems. Dr. Giedke also organizes major scientific events, including the Basque Quantum Science and Technology Workshops and the Nanotechnology meets Quantum Information Summerschool.
