Dear friends, Tomorrow at 11:00 in D5.01 we'll have a guest speaker, Maristella Crotti from l'Università degli studi dell'Insubria, who will tell us about quantum channels and quantum batteries. Title and abstract below. Warm regards, Will Schober Speaker: Maristella Crotti Title: From quantum channels to quantum batteries Abstract: In this presentation, I will provide an overview of my academic path in physics, from my Bachelor’s to my current Master’s studies at the University of Insubria. I will begin with my Bachelor’s thesis, in which I carried out a small original research project exploring the transmission of classical information using non-orthogonal quantum states encoded in optical coherent states. I will then present my current Master’s thesis, which investigates the open-system dynamics of micromaser-based quantum batteries, with a focus on dissipation and stabilization.
