Research vision
From quantum foundations to quantum technologies
I work on open quantum systems, quantum photonics, hybrid quantum platforms, and quantum foundations. I am mainly interested in understanding where quantum effects come from, how they are shaped by their environment, and what they can tell us about quantum mechanics itself.
Quantum light–matter interactions
Collective emission, cavity and waveguide quantum electrodynamics, nonlinear optical dynamics, directional photodetection, and photon-mediated interactions.
Open quantum systems
Environmental memory, non-Markovian dynamics, decoherence, reservoir engineering, Bell nonlocality, and dissipation-assisted control.
Emerging quantum platforms
Electrons on liquid helium, levitated spin mechanics, magnomechanics, quantum frequency combs, and photon-correlation metrology.
Quantum foundations
Pilot-wave dynamics, quantum non-equilibrium, relativistic formulations, hydrodynamic pictures of quantum mechanics, and semiclassical gravity.
Selected highlights
Environmental memory as a resource
I looked at how the geometry of the environment can freeze and revive Bell nonlocality. The interesting part is that the environment does more than cause decoherence; its memory can restore quantum correlations.
Autonomous phonon maser
I studied how a driven spin can sustain coherent mechanical motion in a levitated system, producing an autonomous phonon-maser regime without directly driving the mechanical mode.
Quantum magnonic devices
During my time at OIST, I worked on several hybrid magnonic systems, including squeezed microwave and magnonic frequency combs, rotational Schrödinger-cat states, and spin–mechanical thermal machines.
Quantum trajectories and foundations
I continue to return to foundational questions in quantum mechanics, particularly pilot-wave dynamics, quantum equilibrium, relativistic spin-(1/2) formulations, hydrodynamic descriptions, and semiclassical gravity. These problems were at the heart of my PhD and remain part of my research whenever an interesting question brings me back to them.
Current focus
At Institut Fresnel, I currently work mainly on photon correlations and their use in quantum metrology, cryptography, and optical authentication. Alongside this work, I continue developing theoretical projects on open quantum systems and hybrid quantum platforms, while occasionally returning to questions in quantum foundations.
