Patrick Gelß
My main area of focus lies in the development and application of quantum- and tensor-based methods. These methodologies have proven to be incredibly effective in solving complex problems across a range of fields. In addition to this, I have a strong interest in various topics in the fields of machine learning and data-driven approaches, kernel-based techniques, dynamical systems and transfer operators, catalytic systems, chemical reaction networks, and quantum mechanics, including quantum computing and simulation.

🔬 Projects
Computational devices and quantum mechanics revolutionized the 20th century. Quantum computation merges these fields to solve optimization problems faster than classical computers. This project aims to develop new quantum algorithms for general-purpose and specific applications, including optimization, mixed-integer programs, and uses in machine learning, logistics, big data, and physics. We will explore quantum dynamic programming, graph sparsification, and QAOA-type algorithms for small quantum computers.
