Previous work
PhD work
Mattia Walschaers got his PhD from the universities of Freiburg (Germany) and Leuven (Belgium) for a cotutelle project, supervised by Andreas Buchleitner and Mark Fannes. His work initially focused on the role of quantum effects in photosynthesis, where he developed analytically solvable toy models to better understand the role of disorder in coherent transport of photosynthetic excitons. Later on, his attention shifted to dynamical features of many-particle systems and he spent a big part of the final years of his PhD project working on many-particle interference a phenomenon which induced by indistinguishability of quantum particles. This ultimately led to the development of an experimentally implementable statistical benchmark for boson sampling.
The resulting dissertation was published as a book in the Springer Theses series, and it was also one of the four nominees for the SAMOP dissertation prize of the German Physical Society.
Postdoc
From 2016 until 2019, Mattia was a post-doctoral researcher in multimode quantum optics group of the Laboratoire Kastler Brossel, where his research interests shifted to continuous-variable quantum optics and quantum information. During his postdoc, most of his attention is devoted to understanding multimode photon addition and subtraction. Between May 2018 and October 2019, Mattia was funded by a research fellowship from the German Research Foundation (DFG).
