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 ...
De Santis, Dario (Date of defense: 2021-06-22)
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 ...
Pozas Kerstjens, Alejandro (Date of defense: 2019-10-15)
Quantum theory, as counter-intuitive as a theory can get, has turned out to make predictions of the physical world that match observations so precisely that it has been described as the most accurate ...
Torre Carazo, Gonzalo de la (Date of defense: 2015-09-23)
Physics has two main ambitions: to predict and to understand. Indeed, physics aims for the prediction of all natural phenomena. Prediction entails modeling the correlation between an action, the input, ...
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 ...
Passaro, Elsa (Date of defense: 2016-05-30)
Quantum information science is a rapidly evolving field both from the theoretical and the experimental viewpoint, motivated by the fact that protocols exploiting quantum resources can perform tasks that ...
Prettico, Giuseppe (Date of defense: 2013-01-18)
Quantum Information Theory (QIT) studies how information can be processed and transmitted when encoded on quantum states. Practically, it can be understood as the effort to generalize Classical Information ...
Dhara, Chirag (Date of defense: 2013-06-12)
Quantum mechanics was developed as a response to the inadequacy of classical physics in explaining certain physical phenomena. While it has proved immensely successful, it also presents several features ...
Sainz, Ana Belén (Date of defense: 2014-02-10)
In the past century, experimental discoveries have witnessed phenomena in Nature which challenge our everyday classical intuition. In order to explain these facts, quantum theory was developed, which ...
