PhD in Quantum Technologies
Postdoc at University of Naples Federico II
Postdoctoral researcher at University of Naples Federico II
I am a creative and curious person and this allows me to look for different perspectives to face problems. My passion for embroidery and art gave me patience and attention to detail. These characteristics, combined with the technical skills acquired through studies to achieve the Master Degree in Condensed Matter Physics, proved fundamental in the first approach to research as a Ph.D. student in Quantum Technologies, and now as a postdoc involved in the project "Quantum phase transitions in open systems". Discipline and attitude towards group work have been a hallmark of my life as a karateka and chorister. That's why I feel comfortable in a team and I believe that community is always an added value, both in life and in science.
Her research focuses on many-body open quantum systems and methods for extracting information depending on system-bath interactions. This required going beyond quantum master equations like Lindblad's, so I developed a code to apply the density matrix renormalization group to study equilibrium properties and the time-dependent variational principle to study the dynamics of an open system represented as a matrix product state. She characterized the driven dissipative Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless quantum phase transition (QPT) in the open Rabi model induced by bath coupling, and analyzed its dynamics from weak to ultra-strong coupling regimes, where decoherence enhances qubit-oscillator coherence and Bloch vector estimation. She has studied information encoding under dissipation via decoherence-free subspaces and explored the interplay between topology and bath effects. In the two-qubit quantum Rabi model, she identified two distinct dynamical QPTs through non-analyticities in Loschmidt echo rate functions, tunable via qubit entanglement and interaction. Her work also includes the study of global and local ergotropy in open systems viewed as quantum batteries, highlighting local ergotropy as a dynamical marker for QPTs and localization phenomena in disordered XXZ spin chains undergoing an Anderson-MBL-ergodic transition. Additionally, she applied Navascués-Pironio-Acín hierarchy of semi-definite program to the stationary analysis of observables within the Lindblad framework.
Currently, her research spans a wide range of topics in open quantum systems, such as many-body localization, non-Hermitian approaches, and critical phenomena driven by environmental interactions, with a focus on transport phenomena in fermionic reservoirs and on the use of quantum Fisher information to probe system-bath coupling effects.
I always enjoy working with others in my field to enrich myself personally and professionally.
