• Abstract

  Trapped ions manipulated by electromagnetic radiation fields constitute now one of the most developed quantum technologies. Scenarios range from "benchtop" experiments to on-chip integration with the prospect of use in portable systems. Within the scope of quantum technologies, the operation of these systems has taken place in the so-called resolved sideband regime. This regime allows acc…

• Abstract

  Real physical systems are always subject to interactions with the environment and therefore must be viewed as open systems. In the usual approaches, this situation is modeled by assuming that the system of interest is coupled linearly to a reservoir consisting of a large number of independent harmonic oscillators. Many interesting results come from this approach that applies to a large nu…

• Abstract

  This project is concerned with quantum information and it aims at providing the student with the basic concepts to be mastered by all those interested in working in the field. This includes topics such as postulates of quantum mechanics and density operator, entanglement and applications, cryptography and fundamental quantum algorithms. Finally, in order to provide the student with an opp…

• Abstract

  During the last years, there has been great theoretical-experimental effort in order tounderstand the role of quantum effects in energy transfer through coupled systems. This project is dedicated to this problem and its main goal is to set a theoretical treatment of quantum transport under many different physical scenarios. In particular, vibrational couplings in systems of biological int…

• Abstract

  We propose a six-month visit to the Centre for Quantum Engineering (CQE) at Aalto University in Finland for the realization of a research project under the supervision of Dr. Mikko Motonen. This internship will focus on the theoretical study of open quantum systems augmented by experimental implementations in superconducting circuits. Particularly, the student will work on the proper desc…
