Welcome to the
Quantum Information, Dynamics and Control Research Group
We conduct research at the intersection of control theory, quantum physics, mathematical physics and information engineering. We are based at the Department of Information Engineering and part of the QTech center at the University of Padua, in Padua, Italy.
