Tobias Heindel

Tobias Heindel is head of the group Quantum Communication Systems affiliated with the Institute of Solid State Physics at Technische Universität Berlin, Germany.  Dr. Heindel received his PhD from Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg, Germany, in 2014. He had several research visits at renowned national and international research institutes, including the Ludwigs-Maximilians-University Munich and the Technion in Haifa, Israel.

Dr. Heindel’s present research focuses on topics at the intersection of the fields of solid-state quantum optics and quantum information with the aim to realize building blocks for quantum communication and future distributed quantum networks. He authored or co-authored more than 60 peer-reviewed journal articles, three book chapters, and one patent (h-index 37). He received a ”Quantum Future” Junior Research Group Grant (3.1 M€ budget) form the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research in 2018 and the Karl-Scheel-Prize of the Physical Society in Berlin in 2020. He is initiator and organizer of the open-science and outreach project ”QuanTour – A quantum emitter’s journey through Europe”, which combines open science with science communication under the umbrella of the German Physical Society (DPG).
