Research
During my PhD I tackled theoretical problems on the boundary of Quantum Information science and Condensed matter. I started my PhD research in optomechanical entanglement between a moving mirror and the electromagnetic field in micro-cavities. I have also investigated the generation of entanglement between two distant parties by interaction with low-dimensional strongly correlated systems, such as the Heisenberg 1D&2D antiferromagnetic spin system.
Undergraduate students (and general public) might be interested in the talk I gave about foundations of quantum mechanics (Einstein-Poldosky-Rosen paradox, Bell Theorem, etc.) and quantum information (teleportation, entanglement, etc.) some years ago at FCUP. You may download the pdf here (in portuguese only).
