Research interests

He is generally interested in the intersection of quantum optics, mesoscopic physics and condensed matter physics. Recently, he has focused on the interplay of dissipation and nonlinear dynamics in optomechanical and photonic systems, studying the dynamics of synthetic gauge fields for photons, lasing in topological photonic structures as well as the stabilization of non-Gaussian entangled quantum states in Kerr resonator arrays. He is currently investigating the simulation of quantum many-body physics on quantum computers, including quantum machine learning for the recognition of quantum phases of matter and error mitigation in variational quantum algorithms.
