Prof Stefano Pirandola
(coordinator, PI), Prof Sam Braunstein (CoI), Dr Gae Spedalieri, Dr
Jason Pereira
Stefano Pirandola is
a Professor of quantum information at Computer Science (York). In
the past, he has been Leverhulme fellow (2013-2015) and Marie Curie
outgoing international fellow (2007-2010). He started to work on quantum
cryptography and quantum networks since he was a fellow at MIT. He
has contributed to the development of the “continuous-variable”
formulation of quantum information which has natural implementations
in quantum optics. In particular, his main interests are in the areas
of quantum communication, cryptography and sensing, for which he has
established ultimate theoretical limits besides designing practical
technological implementations.

Prof Stefano Mancini
(PI), Prof David Vitali (CoI), Dr Stefano Zippilli, Dr Francisco Revson
Stefano Mancini earned
the Doctorate in Physics from the University of Perugia, Italy in
1998 by defending a thesis on quantum state tomography. He then spent
several years at the University of Milan, Italy. With temporary lecturer
positions he has contributed to the establishment of the first Italian
academic courses on quantum information and computation. Since 2010
he is appointed at University of Camerino as professor of theoretical
physics. He has published more than 200 papers in international leading
journals with major contributions on the subjects of quantum channels,
quantum error-correcting codes, entanglement characterization. He
co-authored two textbooks: “Theory of Computability and Complexity”
and “A Quantum Leap in Information Theory”.

Prof Tobias Gehring
(PI), Prof Ulrik L. Andersen (CoI), Prof Kirstine Berg-Sorensen
(CoI), Dr Rayssa Bruzaca de Andrade
Tobias Gehring obtained
his PhD in 2013 at the Leibniz University Hannover. After a postdoc
from 2013 to 2015 at DTU he became tenure tracked Assistant Professor
at the same university and was promoted to Associate Professor in
2019. His research field is experimental continuous variable quantum
information, in particular generation of squeezed light and its application
in quantum sensing and quantum communication. He also researches continuous
variable quantum key distribution with coherent states.

(PI), Dr Peter Morten Moselund (CoI)
Dr. Jens Engholm Pedersen
is R&D project manager at NKT involved in the design and development
of ultra-low noise single frequency fiber lasers and amplifiers. He
has published more than 20 scientific papers, owns 4 patents and has
co-supervised 2 PhD students.
Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca
Metrologica (INRIM), Italy
Dr Ivano Ruo-Berchera
(PI), Dr Ivo DeGiovanni (CoI), Prof Marco Genovese (CoI)
Ivano Ruo-Berchera is
a senior researcher at INRIM, the Italian Metrology Institute. His
work concerns quantum optics and the experimental use of non-classical
states of light for quantum metrology, imaging and radiometry. His
main contributions concern the realization of sub-shot-noise quantum
imaging and a quantum-enhanced target detection scheme immune to noise.
He is co-author of more than 70 peer reviewed scientific publications.
He has been invited speaker in more than 20 international conferences
and since 2017, and is an organizer of ‘QUANTUMXX’, one
of the main European conferences in quantum optics and technologies.
Institute
of Science and Technology (IST), Austria
Prof Johannes Fink
(PI)
Johannes Fink has >14
years of research experience in superconducting circuits and >8
years in photonics and nano-mechanics. During his PhD at ETH Zurich
he observed the geometric phase and studied fundamental interactions
between light and matter in circuit QED. As a postdoc at Caltech he
demonstrated motional ground state cooling of a dielectric nanobeam.
As an independent PI at IST he used mechanics to realize an on-chip
microwave circulator and to deterministically generate and distribute
entangled radiation. In QUARTET he will contribute his experience
in microwave quantum tomography and his expertise in the design, fabrication
and measurement of Josephson circuits.
Aalto University, Finland
Prof Gheorghe Sorin
Paraoanu (PI), Dr Kirill Petrovnin
Gheorghe-Sorin Paraoanu
did his undergraduate studies at the University of Bucharest and obtained
his Ph.D. from the University of Urbana-Champaign, U.S.A. He is a
docent (Adj. Prof.) of University of Helsinki and he is presently
leading an experimental group at Aalto University as Senior University
Lecturer. He held several academic positions at the University of
Jyväskylä, as well as visiting positions at the University
of Innsbruck, University of Vienna, and ETH Zurich. His main interests
include ultracold gases, open quantum systems, superconducting qubits
and circuits, quantum control, parametric effects, quantum algorithms,
and quantum machine learning. He is an author of over 80 articles
in scientific journals.
