Uzi Pereg is an assistant professor in the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Helen Diller Quantum Center at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. He received the B.Sc. (summa cum laude) degree in electrical engineering from Azrieli College of Engineering, Jerusalem, Israel, in 2011, and the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel, in 2015 and 2019, respectively.
From 2020 to 2022, he was a senior researcher at the Institute for Communications Engineering of the Technical University of Munich and the Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology (MCQST). During this period, he participated in the theory group of the German federal government (BMBF) project for the design and analysis of quantum communication and repeater systems.
Prof. Pereg is a recipient of the Pearl award for outstanding research work in the field of communications, KLA-Tencor Award for Excellent Conference Paper, Viterbi Fellowship, Israel CHE Fellowship for Quantum Science and Technology, MCQST Seed Funding Grant for Exceptional Junior Researchers, Israel VATAT Junior Faculty Program for Quantum Science and Technology, and the Chaya Career Advancement Chair.
His research interests: Quantum Communication Networks, Quantum Information Theory, Shannon Theory
The Qcomm Theory Lab was founded in 2022 and focuses on quantum communication and information theory.
We analyze the optimal performance limits of communication networks that are based on state-of-the-art quantum technology. Such characterization is essential for the current design of the quantum Internet, quantum-based security applications, and entanglement-assisted communication networks.
