The formulation of quantum physics stands among the most revolutionary theories of the twentieth century. During the first decades of this century, many phenomena concerning the microscopic world were ...
Perarnau Llobet, Martí (Date of defense: 2016-06-06)
Thermodynamics traditionally deals with macroscopic systems at thermal equilibrium. However, since the very beginning of the theory, its range of applicability has only increased, nowadays being applied ...

This thesis focusses on the essential features of Quantum Theory that are systems in an entangled state and Bell nonlocal correlations. Here, we take the angle of a resource theory and are interested ...
Huembeli, Patrick (Date of defense: 2021-03-25)
Research at the intersection of machine learning (ML) and quantum physics is a recent growing field due to the enormous expectations and the success of both fields. ML is arguably one of the most promising ...
Hernández Santana, Senaida (Date of defense: 2019-04-12)
Quantum Mechanics was established as the theory of the microscopic world, which allowed to understand processes in atoms and molecules. Its emergence led to a new scientific paradigm that quickly spread ...
Baccari, Flavio (Date of defense: 2019-05-17)
Quantum physics is arguably both the most successful and the most counterintuitive physical theory of all times. Its extremely accurate predictions on the behaviour of microscopic particles have led ...
Scandi, Matteo (Date of defense: 2023-07-13)
(English) The modern understanding of physics is deeply linked with the concept of information. The revival of the study of quantum mechanics in the form of quantum information is just an example of a ...
