Scientific activity
Gonzalo Carvacho joined the University of Rome “La Sapienza” as a PhD student in November 2014. His PhD thesis entitled “Multiphoton hybrid systems and their applications in quantum information and quantum communication” was carried out under the supervision of Prof. Sciarrino and focused on experimental photonic protocols through several platforms.
Gonzalo obtained the Bachelor and Master’s degree in Physics at the University of Concepcion (Chile) with a thesis focused on the experimental implementation and stabilization of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with optical fibers long 3.7 km. He also obtained a Physics Engineering Degree oriented on synthesis and characterization of semiconductor materials. His work at the time was followed by Prof. Xavier. Before he enrolled in the PhD program in Rome, Gonzalo worked as research assistant in the University of Concepcion and performed an internship in the Atomic Center of Bariloche (Argentina).
Currently his research activities are focused in Quantum causality, Quantum communication and multiphoton dynamics by exploiting bulk optics, photonic integrated devices and G/Q-plates for structured light.
Gonzalo Carvacho is author of 40 publications in scientific journals, including 1 Nature, 1 Nature Physics, 5 Nature Communications, 3 Science Advances and 3 Physical Review Letters, with an h-index 20 and overall citation of 1411 in Google scholar.
