Quantum science and technologies

Quantum Science and Technologies is an expanding interdisciplinary field that employs quantum theory to understand and harness emergent quantum phenomena, from quantum coherence to quantum mechanical resonators, from exotic states in Dirac materials to spin dynamics, from quantum transport to twisted light.

Our team combines expertise in Quantum Information Processing and Computation, Quantum Communications, Quantum Optics, Many-Body Physics, Condensed Matter and Nuclear Physics to study complex quantum systems and exploit some of their properties to deploy new technologies that overcome existing solutions in quality and performance.

Research themes in our group:

Quantum Computation and Quantum Information Processing
Experimental and Theoretical Quantum Communications
Quantum Transport and Many-Body Effects
Quantum Thermodynamics
Quantum Optics
Quantum Materials and Devices
Density Functional Theory (DFT): Fundamentals and Applications
Physics packages for advanced Atomic Clocks
