QTRG is a research group funded by the Hungarian Research Network, hosted by the Department of Theoretical Physics at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. Our group was launched in January 2025. We mostly do theoretical physics research related to quantum science and technology. Main directions are physics of quantum devices, quantum error correction, open quantum systems, and efficient simulation of quantum systems. We also explore the relation of quantum physics and game theory.
