I am a postdoc at the Department of Algebra, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University, Prague, Czech republic. I am working on the ERC Synergy project POCOCOP, supervised by Libor Barto.
Previously, I held postdoctoral positions at the Technical University of Denmark, working with David Roberson, and at the University of Neuchâtel, hosted by Alexander Kolpakov. I completed my PhD at Charles University under the supervision of Roman Nedela.
research
My research interests lie in quantum information theory and algebraic and topological graph theory.
In quantum information, I am particularly interested in nonlocal games, quantum correlations, self-testing, and the power and limitations of entanglement. My current focus is on quantum constraint satisfaction problems, including quantum graph homomorphisms and coloring, and the existence and complexity of perfect quantum strategies.
In graph theory, my interests include graph isomorphism, automorphism groups, spectral graph theory, homomorphism indistinguishability, and the power of the Weisfeiler–Leman algorithm. I am also interested in connections between graph theory and quantum information.
news
| Sep 18, 2026 | Our paper Mermin-Peres magic rectangles modulo odd primes appeared on arXiv today. A little arXiv drama: Lorenzo Ciardo and Markus Frembs independently obtained the same result using different techniques, with all three preprints appearing within days of each other! I also wrote a blog post explaining the background and our result. |
