Research


I conduct theoretical research via numerical/analytical methods on systems generally implementable in the lab or for which an experimental realization is not far-fetched.

My research work lies across theoretical condensed matter physics, quantum optics and theory of open quantum systems with a focus on potential applications for quantum technologies such as generation of entangled states. 

More specifically, some of my current research interests are:


(new area of modern quantum optics studying the interaction between quantum emitters and fields with two spatial dimensions confined and thus behaving as being effectively one-dimensional, which seeds unique interference effects)


(emerging field at the boundary between condensed matter and quantum optics that has just started exploring the exciting physics of topological phases in setups such as enginereed photonic lattices possibly coupled to quantum emitters)


(rapidly expanding field across condensed matter, nanophotonics, quantum optics and beyond that studies the behaviour of open systems effectively described by non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, which can give rise to exotic effects unattainable in conventional Hermitian physics)


(thermodynamics applied to non-equilibrium processes of quantum mechanical systems, which can be as small as a single atom)


(central topic of modern theory of open quantum systems, where only very few dynamics are still known which can be solved beyond the standard Markovian regime )
