Quantum Theory Group

The research activity of the Quantum Theory group of Università di Bari and Politecnico di Bari focuses on the outstanding developments that have changed the status of quantum mechanics in the last decades, in particular in the emerging fields of quantum information and quantum technologies. The group investigation covers a wide range of specific topics, including: 

• General aspects of quantum dynamics of closed and open systems

• Quantum communication and cryptography

• Design of quantum simulators and implementation of quantum-inspired computational procedures

• Characterization of entanglement and its link with complexity

• Phenomenology and applications of waveguide QED

• Random matrix theory in quantum many body systems

• Quantum asymptotics and quantum chaos

• Quantum metrology

• Boundary conditions and topological effects

• Quantum control

The methodology involves analytical and numerical techniques from quantum field theory, statistical mechanics and quantum information theory. The Quantum Theory group has close collaborations with experts in quantum theory and experiment worldwide.
