The QuantERA SDPCode consortium unites research groups working at the intersection of quantum information theory, semidefinite programming, and algebraic methods. Together, we develop new mathematical tools for understanding the power and limits of quantum computation and communication.

Researchers

Felix Huber

Assistant Professor, Institute of Informatics

University of Gdańsk & ICTQT, Poland

Felix Huber's research spans quantum error correction, quantum entanglement, nonlocality, and the mathematical foundations of quantum information processing. He is a double QuantERA laureate and an Editor at Quantum (2024–). Previously he held positions at the Bordeaux Computer Science Laboratory (Junior Professor), Jagiellonian University Kraków, ICFO Barcelona, and the University of Cologne.

Igor Klep

Professor, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics

University of Ljubljana, Slovenia

Igor Klep is a leading expert in operator theory and real algebraic geometry, with a focus on semidefinite relaxations of polynomial optimisation problems in both commutative and noncommutative settings. His recent work connects noncommutative function theory to quantum information theory. He is also a Gaspard Monge Visiting Professor at École Polytechnique and Inria Saclay (2025–2026).

Victor Magron

CNRS Researcher, Head of the POP team

LAAS-CNRS, Toulouse, France

Victor Magron leads the Polynomial and Moment Optimization (POP) team at LAAS-CNRS. His work is devoted to certified semidefinite and polynomial optimisation with applications to quantum systems, control, deep learning, and energy networks. He is co-author of the monograph Sparse Polynomial Optimization: Theory and Practice (World Scientific, 2023) and did his PhD at École Polytechnique on formal proofs for global optimisation.
