Research lines: Quantum algorithms and Quantum information science
Ronald de Wolf (1973) studied computer science and philosophy at the Erasmus University Rotterdam, with a focus on logic-based machine learning. He obtained his PhD in 2001 from the University of Amsterdam and CWI on a thesis about quantum computation and communication complexity, advised by Harry Buhrman and Paul Vitanyi. Subsequently he spent a postdoctoral year at UC Berkeley. Currently he is a senior researcher at CWI and full professor at the University of Amsterdam.
Ronald de Wolf works on the computer science aspects of quantum computation and information, with a focus on algorithms, complexity theory, and the applications of tools from quantum computing to topics in classical computer science and mathematics.
