Marc-Olivier Renou
My research interests are at the interface of Quantum Information Theory and Quantum Distributed Computing. It includes the study of correlations in quantum networks, quantum distributed algorithms, device-independent quantum information processing and non commutative polynomial optimization.
Filippo Vicentini
The objective of my research is to tackle open problems in Strongly Correlated Matter by developing novel numerical algorithms bridging the gap between Machine Learning and Quantum Physics. A central idea of my work is to use Neural Networks as compressed representations of the wavefunction, and I’ve also been probing the connections that this has to quantum information theory and to the statistical mechanics of learning.
Titouan Carette
I am particularly interested in the design of graphical languages for quantum computing. This implies using abstract categorical frameworks, allowing the extension of classical concepts to the quantum setting. Precisely, I work on props and string diagrams, mostly ZX-calculus. I am also interested in the theory of programming languages, category theory in general, and the foundations of quantum physics.

Postdoctoral Researchers
Lucas Tendick
My research is generally concerned with understanding quantum correlations and their possible applications. In particular, I am working on Bell non-locality, quantum steering, measurement incompatibility, and quantum resource theories. Recently, I also started to work on quantum networks and distributed computing in these.

Rajah Nutakki
My research focuses on exotic states of matter which may appear in condensed matter and synthetic quantum systems, in particular quantum spin liquids. I am using neural quantum states to study the low-energy properties of systems of frustrated spins, to better understand where we could expect to find quantum spin liquids and what their characteristic features are.

Isadora Veeren
I am generally interested in foundational aspects of quantum information, specially in analyzing the particularities of quantum behavior in scenarios where nonlocality plays a role, where I typically use SDPs as an investigation tool. I am also interested in exploring the consequences posed by varied causal structures.

Alessandro Santini
My research focuses on classical numerical simulations of many-body quantum systems, exploring quantum information aspects and the dynamical properties of neural network quantum states. Moreover, this investigation explores possible hybrid approaches that combine classical methods with simulations on quantum hardware.

Carlos de Gois
I’m interested in anything related to quantum information. My current projects are in some way of another related to quantum/quantum-assisted communication, statistical and practical aspects of quantum state tomography, and quantum correlations. To investigate them, I often use techniques from conic optimization and mixed integer programming, and have a general interest in computational tools and computer science.

PhD Students
Amedeo Shokry
I’m a PhD student in theoretical physics interested in machine learning and deep learning methods for quantum systems.
My current line of research is focused on Monte Carlo sampling techniques and deep learning approaches for variational wavefunction ansatze.

Xiangling Xu
I am interested in the foundational aspects of quantum information theory, particularly in the area of quantum network nonlocality. To this end, my approach involves applying mathematical tools such as the theory of operator algebras and noncommutative polynomial optimization.
Thomas Perez
I am interested in Quantum computational models (circuits, measurement based…) and how to use diagrammatic techniques relying on category theory to tackle related problems (compilation, optimization, emulation). I am currently exploring fermionic computational models through this lens.

Matthias Schötz
My research focuses on the order properties of *-algebras of operators, which arise as observable algebras in physical systems. In classical systems, these algebras are commutative and relate to real algebraic geometry, while in quantum systems, they are noncommutative, requiring a “noncommutative” real algebraic geometry approach.
Abhay Jindal
My research interests lie at the intersection of function theory, operator theory, and operator algebras. In my Ph.D. thesis, I investigated invariants associated with linear operators on reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces possessing the complete Nevanlinna-Pick property. These spaces are characterized by their ability to solve certain interpolation problems. Examples of such spaces include the Hardy space and the Dirichlet space of the unit disc.
