İskender Yalçınkaya

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Quantum dynamics, optics and information (Q3) group at Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering of Czech Technical University in Prague, since March 2017. We address various important open questions in the study of both quantum and classical random walks, focusing both on theoretical investigation and experimental results.

Research Interests

Quantum theory: walks, open systems, algorithms, transport, correlations.
