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.

- Coherent expansion of the motional state of a massive nanoparticle
beyond its linear dimensionsby R. Muffato on August 18, 2024 at 9:11 pm
Quantum mechanics predicts that massive particles exhibit wave-like behavior. Matterwave interferometry has been able to validate such predictions through ground-breaking experiments involving […]
- Criticality-amplified quantum probing of a spontaneous collapse modelby Giorgio Zicari on July 12, 2024 at 2:37 pm
Spontaneous collapse models, which are phenomenological mechanisms introduced and designed to account for dynamical wavepacket reduction, are attracting a growing interest from the community […]
- On the effectiveness of the collapse in the Diósi-Penrose modelby Laria Figurato on June 26, 2024 at 4:57 pm
The possibility that gravity plays a role in the collapse of the quantum wave function has been considered in the literature, and it is of relevance not only because it would provide a solution to […]
- Lecture Notes on Quantum Algorithms in Open Quantum Systemsby Matteo Carlesso on June 17, 2024 at 3:00 pm
These lecture notes aim to provide a clear and comprehensive introduction to using open quantum system theory for quantum algorithms. The main arguments are Variational Quantum Algorithms, Quantum […]
- Saturating a Fundamental Bound on Quantum Measurements' Accuracyby Nicolò Piccione on April 19, 2024 at 2:33 pm
A quantum system is usually measured through observations performed on a second quantum system, or meter, to which it is coupled. In this scenario, fundamental limitations arise as stated by the […]
