Scientific activity
The research activity of Alessia Suprano is focused on the implementation of photonics platforms for generating and employing high-dimensional quantum states in quantum information protocols. During the Ph.D. period, she investigated two kinds of high-dimensional photonic resources: the qudit states encoded in the Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) degree of freedom of single photons and systems of n qubits in network configurations encoded in the polarization of different photons. She contributed to the implementation of a quantum walk-based protocol to engineer arbitrary high-dimensional OAM quantum states and to the investigation regarding the transmission of structured light in scattering media mimicking biological tissue. On the other side, distributing polarization-entangled states of photons in network configurations, she investigated the non-locality behavior of networks with different topologies going beyond the standard bipartite Bell scenario and the possibility of employing these networks to perform device-independent protocols. Moreover, she also employed machine learning techniques and optimization algorithms for information protocols, such as detecting OAM states and implementing real-time optimizations. Currently, her research activities also comprise the employment of quantum dot sources for the development of multiphoton experiments.
Alessia Suprano is the author of 15 publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals, including 2 Physical Review Letters, 2 Nature Communications, 1 Science Advances, 3 PRX Quantum, and 2 Advanced Photonics with an h-index of 6 according to Web of Science (9 in Google scholar).
