Felippe works with integrated quantum information and quantum optics
Assistant Professor of the Gleb Wataghin Physics Institute (IFGW) at the University of Campinas
Felippe defended his PhD thesis in 2013 working in experimental quantum optics and quantum information science at the University of São Paulo (USP). More specificaly, he worked on the preparation of nonclassical states of light such as entangled and squeezed states by using an optical paramectric oscillator (OPO). After staying a year as a posdoc at USP and Unicamp, he spent 2 years working at the Universities of Cornell and Columbia doing research in many areas of integrated photonics, such as microresonator frequency combs, optomechanics and neurophotonics. He became an assistant professor at Unicamp in 2016 and, since then, is focusing in the intersection between quantum information science and integrated photonics. The main goal of this research project is to design integrated devices that can used to prepare quantum states of light to be used in quantum information protocols, mainly focusing on quantum communication and quantum computation.
