B.Sc (1994) and M.Sc. (1997) on Physics from Unicamp. Ph.D. on Physics from Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (2005), where he has been Associate Professor (1997-2015, under distinct levels in Brazilian career), Marcelo has spent 2006 as a post-doc at Leeds group, under Prof. Vlatko Vedral. Marcelo's major research interest runs from Entanglement characterization and applications, besides other forms of correlation, to Foundations of Quantum Physics, including nonlocality and contextuality. Marcelo is a founding member of EnLight (Entanglement and Quantum Properties of Light) and MathFoundQ (Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Theory) research groups, as well as the research network SPIN off QuBIT (São Paulo Integration and Nucleation of future Quantum Based Information Technology). He has been a member of the organizing committee of Paraty07, Paraty09, Paraty11, Paraty19, and Paraty23 School and Workshop on Quantum Information, as well as of the events Quantum Correlations, Contextuality, and all that (2013)... all that again (2015), ... all that again and again (2017), and all that again^3 (2019); he was also responsible for the Special Session on Mathematics of Quantum Theory in the Colóquio Brasileiro de Matemática; he was appointed the coordinator of the Local Organizing Committee of Congresso Nacional de Matemática Aplicada (CNMAC-2018). He has been an Affiliated Member of Brazilian Academy of Science, and an Associate Member of International Centre for Theoretical Physics. Marcelo has published more than 50 scientific papers, with about 60 coauthors and has received more than 1000 citations according to ISI and more than 2000 according to Google Scholar. He is also the (co-)author of two books, published by IMPA and one by Springer. He has supervised twelve MSc and eight PhD students, besides two post-docs, and currently he is the supervisor of four PhD and three MSc. Marcelo has been the Dean of Graduate Studies in Mathematics at UFMG and the Head of the Applied Math Department at Unicamp. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Operational errors or decoherence effects are natural barriers to quantum computing implementations. In classical computation, errors can be corrected using redundancy. The translation to the quantum case is not immediate, due to the non-cloning theorem. Quantum error correcting codes were found, since the 1990s. Initially by suitable adaptations of classical error correcting codes. The s…
The connection between Bell nonlocality and quantum contextuality, two of the most intriguing features of quantum theory, has been subject of research since the first few decades after the establishment of these concepts. In recent years, generalizations of Bell scenarios which allow a nonlocality experiment to be performed concomitantly with a contextuality experiment have enabled new pe…
This project aims to introduce the student to research in Quantum Information Theory. For that, he will start studying Probability, Graph Theory and more advanced topics of Quantum Theory (usually not seen on undergraduate courses), allowing him to get in touch with one of the most recent developments in the state of the art of Quantum Theory: The colored graph approach for the study of q…
In this scientific initiation project it is proposed a study of contextually in quantum theory through a graph theoretic approach. In this way, part of the project is intended for learning some required aspects of graph theory, and for introducing some basic concepts of quantum mechanics. After being acquainted with the topics above, the project aims to investigate what is special in quan…
Contextuality is one of the features that distinguish quantum and classical theories. The incompatibility between non-contextual hidden-variable theories and quantum theory has been confirmed both theoretically and experimentally. More than nonlocality, this contradiction can be viewed as a contradiction of the structure of quantum theory with the intuition of classical theories, expres…

This project is associated to the PhD research project "Quantum Darwinism and Contextuality". The associated project aims to understand if non-contextuality emerges under usual classical limits of Quantum Theory. In particular, considering the paradigmatic case of decoherence and the modern program of Quantum Darwinism. This proposal of extension consists of studying classical limits in t…
