Jens Eisert, born 9 October 1970, is a German physicist, ERC fellow, and professor at the Free University of Berlin.
He is known for his research in and has made numerous contributions to quantum information science and quantum many-body theory in condensed matter physics. He has worked on aspects of entanglement theory and computational models, as well as quantum optical implementations and the study of complex quantum systems. He is also notable as one of the co-pioneers of quantum game theory[1] with Maciej Lewenstein and PhD advisor Martin Wilkens.
Education
He attended high school at the Wilhelm von Humboldt Gymnasium, Ludwigshafen, Germany. He obtained his first degree in physics from the University of Freiburg and his master's degree in mathematics and physics from the University of Connecticut under a Fulbright scholarship. In 2001, he obtained his PhD from University of Potsdam under Martin Wilkens with a thesis entitled Entanglement in Quantum Information Theory.
Career
In 2001-2002, he was a Feodor Lynen Fellow at Imperial College London. In 2002-2003, he was a visiting scholar at Caltech. During 2002-2005, he was a junior professor at the University of Potsdam. During the 2005-2008 period he was a lecturer at Imperial College London. In 2008, he became a full professor at the University of Potsdam and in 2011 a full professor at the Free University of Berlin. In 2009-2010, he was a fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study, Berlin.
He is a divisional associate editor of the Physical Review Letters.[2]
