My research has mainly focused on the continuous-variable regime focusing on the generation of entanglement from Gaussian states and operations and on the role of squeezing and correlations to improve the sensitivity of an optical interferometer. I have developed a suitable theoretical analysis (Phys. Rev. Lett. in 2011) that has been experimentally verified (Phys. Rev. A in 2012).
We have developed the theoretical basis that led to the first experimental verification of a quantum illumination protocol in collaboration with the experimental group of Quantum Optics at INRiM in Turin (Phys. Rev. Lett. in 2013). The collaboration with INRiM also led to study the possibility of using continuous-variable entangled states of light to correlate two interferometers in order to verify the predictions of some theories of quantum gravity (Phys. Rev. Lett. in 2013, Phys. Rev. A in 2015 and Riv. Nuovo Cimento in 2018).
I am currently studying squeezing as a resource for quantum technologies (Phys. Rev. A in 2020, Phys. Lett. A in 2022).
