Topology, Chirality and Interactions in Quantum Simulators

The research project focuses on the opportunities offered by atomic quantum simulation platforms to investigate strongly-interacting effects and correlations that are relevant to topological or chiral systems

Quantum signals from the early Universe

A possible quantum signature of the early Universe, either through the quantum decoherence effect or by considering the dynamical collapse model of primordial cosmological perturbations, could lead to a definition of the quantum nature of the inflationary mechanism, the standard scenario for explaining all the structures we observe in the Universe today. In this project, I intend to study possible signals that could unequivocally reveal the quantum nature of primordial fluctuations resulting from inflation, which may be imprinted in some present-day observables.

Light and Feebly-Interacting Relics from the Big Bang

I work in high-energy particle physics phenomenology and astroparticle physics, focusing on the origin and nature of dark matter. My current research centers on feebly interacting dark sectors, the precise calculation of interaction rates in the early universe, and the emergence and behavior of scalar fields subject to boundaries in field space.

ROOm Temperature Single-photon sources with tunable optical nanocavities (ROOTS)

This project explores the development of practical, room-temperature single-photon sources by coupling erbium-based quantum emitters—naturally compatible with telecom wavelengths—to dynamically reconfigurable optical nanocavities. By advancing control over emission processes and enabling precision single-photon spectroscopy, the research aims to deliver scalable building blocks for future quantum photonic technologies spanning secure communication, distributed quantum networks, sensing, and integrated computing platforms
