Lorenzo Maccone (born 21 April 1972) is an Italian theoretical physicist, associate professor at the University of Pavia.[1].
He is known for his significant contributions to quantum mechanics, quantum information theory, and quantum foundations.
Education and career[edit]
He was born and raised in Ivrea, where he attended primary and secondary school. He then obtained his Master's in Physics in 1996 and his Ph.D. in theoretical Physics from the University of Pavia in 1999, under the supervision of Prof. G. M. D’Ariano, with a thesis titled "Quantum tomography: methods and applications."[2].
Throughout his career, he has held various academic positions in different renowned institutions, including the University of Pavia, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the group of J. Shapiro and S. Lloyd, the Institute for Scientific Interchange in Turin, and the Los Alamos National Laboratory with W. H. Zurek. Since October 2010 he is associate professor at the University of Pavia[3].
Scientific contributions[edit]
Maccone is mostly known for his contributions to the theory of measurement in quantum mechanics. Together with Vittorio Giovannetti and Seth Lloyd, he established a general framework for quantum metrology[4]. He also investigated the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and, together with Arun K. Pati, derived the Maccone–Pati uncertainty relations, which set some bounds on the sum of the variances for two incompatible observables[5]. Maccone is also interested in the problem of time in quantum mechanics. Again with Giovannetti and Lloyd, he put forward an improved model for a quantum description of time based on the Page and Wootters’s mechanism[6]
