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.

5 to 12 December 2023 | in presence: How do unaccompanied refugee minors feel in Salzburg? What makes them happy, what depresses them, what are they afraid of? And what would they like to say to the people of Salzburg? Students of the Department of German Language and Literature got to know underage refugees in meeting and writing workshops and discussed these questions with them. On the occasion of Human Rights Day on 10 December 2023, a selection of the texts will be exhibited in the UNIPARK.
