[4] In 2023 she was appointed professor of Quantum Algorithms and Applications at the Technical University of Munich.
[8] In 2010 she showed how to decide whether two pure quantum states of a many-particle system are equivalent to each other in terms of entanglement.
[10] In the field of quantum cryptography, she studied the security of key-distribution protocols and the achievable secret-key rates.
Among other results, she and her collaborators Renato Renner and Nicolas Gisin gave an influential information-theoretic security proof for the security of a quantum key distribution protocol [11] Kraus won a Start-Preis from the Austrian Science Fund in 2010.
[3] She was the 2011 winner of the Ludwig Boltzmann Prize of the Austrian Physical Society,[12][13] and the 2013 winner of the Lieben Prize of the Austrian Academy of Sciences for her work on many-body entanglement.
