Jordi Tura

Associate Professor at the Leiden Institute of Physics (LION) · Principal Investigator in the Applied Quantum Algorithms group · ERC Starting Grant.

We work on making quantum devices verifiable — from Bell nonlocality and self-testing to near-term algorithms that run on real hardware.

Research

The aQa group works to make real-world quantum computing practical. Our themes:

  • Device-independent certification — Bell nonlocality, self-testing, and verification of many-body quantum properties.
  • Quantum algorithms — near-term and fault-tolerant methods for chemistry, optimization, and quantum machine learning.
  • Entanglement & tensor networks — structural theory of many-body states and efficient representations.
