Research lines: Quantum information science and Quantum algorithms
Maris Ozols received a Bachelor’s degree in computer science at the University of Latvia (2006) and a Master’s degree (2009) and PhD (2012) in mathematics at the University of Waterloo. From 2012-2013 he was a postdoctoral researcher at IBM T.J. Watson Research Center in the US, and from 2014-2016 he was a postdoc at the University of Cambridge. Before coming to QuSoft he held a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship at Cambridge.
Maris’ primary field of research is quantum information science and quantum algorithms. His most significant work to date is on quantum algorithms, entanglement, and its role in communication. He has given invited presentations at workshops in the US, Canada, and Europe, and his work has regularly appeared in top conferences such as QIP.
At QuSoft he plans to explore connections between representation theory and quantum algorithms and information by considering computational problems with an extreme degree of symmetry. His goal is to find applications of these insights to quantum cryptography.
