Research interests
My research experience is mainly in the fields of open quantum systems and quantum information theory. I am interested in the interplay between the previous fields and more specific research areas like: quantum computing, quantum opto-mechanics, and quantum thermodynamics. Currently, I am also working on error mitigation in the context of noisy and intermediate-scale quantum computers.
Some results on these topics are reported below.
