We propose to investigate carefully selected problems to advance the state of the art in combinatorial analysis, always inspired by fundamental questions in the field. There will be emphasis on classic, asymptotic, quantum, and geometric problems, many of which will be approached through multifaceted techniques involving methods from more than one of these fronts of modern combinatorics. …
This research project explores non-classicality in the context of emerging quantum technologies. We will address four main theoretical problems that are linked to the challenges faced in the development and implementation of quantum technologies: decomposition of unitary operators for application in quantum circuits, characterization of entangled unsteerable states, the application of non…
To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Quantum Mechanics, using the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, we plan to organize an exhibition starting in the second half of 2025. The exhibition will offer immersive content designed to attract and engage an audience that is often lost due to the inherent complexity of the subject. This project will incorporate virtual reality,…
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 doctoral project aims to develop tools for exploring non-classicality in quantum science, focusing on three main problems: decomposition of unitary operators using Cartan decomposition for quantum circuits, characterization of unsteerable entangled states in two-qubit systems, and development of quantum network scenarios that simultaneously explore Bell non-locality and Kochen-Specker…
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…

Bell nonlocality and quantum contextuality stand as two of the most instigating nonclassical phenomena in quantum theory. Notably, they have been shown to yield quantum advantages in a plethora of information processing tasks. Nonlocality, for example, can be used to establish secure cryptographic keys, while contextuality has a profound connection with promising models of quantum computa…
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…
