Areas of Research
Quantum information, quantum foundations
My research interests are in the area of quantum information theory, which is a branch of mathematical physics. Quantum information is a very successful research area, at the intersection of math, physics, and computer science, which studies the quantum world (the microscopic world of atoms and molecules) from the angle of information theory. Quantum information results have produced a considerable scientific and technological revolution, with quantum technologies that are becoming concrete and commercially available (e.g. quantum communication, cryptography, computing, etc.). The reason for such a revolution stems from the fact that the quantum world provides us with new resources allowing us to do things that were unthinkable before. My research in quantum information theory branches in two directions: one aims at exploring the role and quantification of quantum resources, the other at answering the deepest and most fundamental questions of Nature (e.g. why the world is quantum) with mathematical rigour.
