Energetics of quantum correlations

Project description

Advancing quantum correlations for energy efficiency

Quantum systems present challenges in understanding how correlations between particles influence energy manipulation and thermodynamic processes. As quantum technologies advance, a deeper understanding of quantum correlations is critical for developing more efficient energy applications. However, the link between entanglement and energy manipulation remains poorly understood. This knowledge gap hinders the development of energy-efficient quantum technologies. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the EQC project will create a framework to study quantum correlations and thermodynamics in continuous variables. Specifically, it will develop practical applications, formulate experimental plans, and foster knowledge exchange. It also emphasises skill transfer through teaching and supervision, contributing to both theoretical and experimental advancements in quantum information and energy processing.

Objective

The proposed project Energetics of Quantum Correlations aims to establish a comprehensive framework for studying quantum correlations and thermodynamics in continuous variables.
The key research goals established within this project encompass the creation of a universally applicable operational framework delineating the relationship between entanglement and energy manipulation. This framework should be readily employable within the quantum technology sector. Additionally, the project aims to conceive practical applications for harnessing energetic quantum advantages. Lastly, it seeks to formulate an experimental plan for assessing the proposed theory.
To achieve these goals, the project leverages the expertise of both the hosting institution, Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA), and the partner institution, ICFO. Furthermore, the project emphasises knowledge transfer and collaboration. During the outgoing phase, the researcher will collaborate closely with Prof. Paz's team at UBA, gaining insights into quantum thermodynamics and correlations. In the return phase at ICFO, collaboration with Prof. Acn's Quantum Information Theory group will involve advanced analytical and numerical methods for characterising quantum correlations.
The project places a strong emphasis on skills transfer. The researcher will actively engage in co-supervising PhD and master's students, enhancing supervisory and management skills. Teaching activities at both institutions will improve pedagogical abilities, while participation in interdisciplinary initiatives will foster networking and knowledge exchange.
In addition, the project is committed to develop energy efficient quantum technologies, aligning with the MSCA Green Charter.
With a strong foundation in theory and practical experiments, coupled with a commitment to sustainability and knowledge exchange, it is well-positioned to make significant strides in our understanding of quantum correlations and their role in energy processing.
