We work in quantum mechanics and its foundations: the measurement problem, the meaning of the wave function, entaglement and nonlocality, the quantum-to-classical transition, the relation between quantum theory and relativity/gravity. Read more

Development on gravitational decoherence

Gravitational decoherence is an interesting low-energy phenomenon at the intersection of quantum theory and general relativity.

Escaping barren plateaus using entanglement skipping layered ansatz

Thanks to their resilience to noise and wide range of possible applications, Variational Quantum Algorithms (VQA) are among the most useful resources for near-term quantum computing. However, in order to achieve the best performances, there are some issues that need to be addressed.

Incorporating stochastic effects into the Wheeler-DeWitt equation

I will briefly discuss the main motivations for considering a quantum theory of gravity. Using a 3+1 decomposition of General Relativity (GR), I will describe the Hamiltonian formulation of GR, focusing on the Hamiltonian and momentum constraints.
