Tijn received the university’s Young Investigators Award 2023 award for their work on distributed quantum computing. Together with Joran van Apeldoorn, they developed a new framework to employ parallel quantum query algorithms in the CONGEST model. They use this framework to break multiple classical lower bounds, including cycle detection, girth computation, meeting scheduling, and element distinctness. In particular, they show a novel exponential separation for exact CONGEST algorithms by solving a distributed version of the Deutsch-Jozsa problem.

Anna Stelzer received the “Award of Excellence” (Staatspreis Dissertation) 2023 for her outstanding dissertation on monetary policy in the euro area. The former PhD student at the Department of Economics of the Paris Lodron University of Salzburg  wrote her dissertation under the supervision of Professor Florian Huber.
