On Quantum Tech Day, Instituto de Telecomunicações, Aveiro, hosts the talk "What is nonclassical about quantum interference?”, with Lorenzo Catani, a researcher at International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL), on 23rd May 2024, 02:30 p.m.
This event occurs in the scope of the Portuguese Quantum Communications Infrastructure - PTQCI project.
Lorenzo Catani's research mostly focuses on the intersection between quantum foundations and quantum computation. In particular, he aims to identify the features of quantum theory that constitute a departure from the classical worldview and to show how these can be resources for quantum computational advantage in information processing tasks. He also is conducting a new mathematical framework that provides a realistic and interpretationally unproblematic account of quantum theory.
Bio:
He holds a BSc in Physics (2012) and an MSc in Theoretical Physics (2014) from the University of Bologna, where he was also a student of the Collegio Superiore, one of the Superior Graduate Schools in Italy. He also holds an MRes (2015) and a PhD (2018) from University College London, obtained as part of the doctoral training program in delivering quantum technologies. His doctoral thesis was titled Nonclassicality as a computational resource. Before moving to INL, he held postdoctoral positions at Chapman University in California (2018–2021) and Technische Universität Berlin (2021–2023).
