Heidemarie Schmidt is a professor at the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology. Her research considers quantum detection and the development of new detector systems that can characterise systems at the quantum limit. She has contributed to the field of neuromorphic computing, and proposed new computing architectures based on memristive devices.
Schmidt was born in Germany. She studied physics at Leipzig University, where she developed strategies to measure the bandwidths of ultrathin III-V semiconductors. She remained in Leipzig for her postdoc, where she worked on spintronics using ZnO.[1]
