AIT Austrian Institute of Technology
Hannes Hübel obtained his PhD in 2004 in experimental physics from Queen Mary, University of London, UK. In the same year he joined the quantum information group at the University of Vienna under the leadership of the Nobel Laureate Prof. Anton Zeilinger to work on experimental quantum communication, in particular Quantum Key Distribution (QKD).
In 2009, Hannes moved to Instituto of Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo, Canada, where he focused on experimental demonstrations of multipartite entanglement. In 2010, he became assistant professor at the University of Stockholm, Sweden.
He joined AIT Austrian Institute of Technology in 2015 where he currently holds the position of Thematic Coordinator, being in charge for all Quantum Technology activities at AIT. As senior scientist he is also responsible for the experimental QKD developments of the group at AIT. He is very much involved in the European Quantum Technology Flagship effort as coordinator of several large projects in the quantum communication pillar. Besides his research work, he is also consulting the European Commission on the deployment plans for its large quantum communication network, the EuroQCI.
