Impact of the research (outside academia):
My results on the project “Quantum backflow and scattering” jointly with H. Bostelmann and G. Lechner have attracted the attention of the international media, being covered by online news outlets in the UK, Spain, Germany, the US, and China, including the Daily Mail (with a press article entitled “Scientists discover all quantum particles can travel BACKWARD in breakthrough that could pave the way for ultra-secure encryption”), Gizmodo (“Pushing Particles Forwards Might Make Them Go Backwards Because Quantum Physics Is Bonkers”), and Spektrum der Wissenschaft (the German sister publication of Scientific American, “Reisen Quanten manchmal rückwärts?”).
