Research Visit: University of Chile
Research Internship in Quantum Optics: Collaboration between Argentina and Chile 🇦🇷🇨🇱
During January 2026, I had the pleasure of conducting a research internship at the Department of Physics of the University of Chile, joining the Amazing Quantum Group led by Dr. Carla Hermann-Avigliano.
My work focused on the theoretical characterization of intense non-Gaussian quantum light. We investigated generalized coherent states through quantum information measures and higher-order correlators to detect non-classicality features—a fundamental challenge in modern quantum optics.
The highlights of this experience were:
Theory-Experiment Synergy. Although my focus is theoretical, participating in the laboratories and handling cutting-edge equipment provided an invaluable perspective on the real challenges of experimental implementation.
Academic Exchange. Participating in Journal Clubs and presenting my progress to the group was key to receiving constructive feedback and refining my quantum dynamics models.
Closing the Cycle. I concluded the stay by presenting a poster with the results obtained during the DFI Summer Internship 2026 closing session.
I take with me not only new technical knowledge but also the experience of having shared this time with an exceptional human group, known for their warmth and helpfulness. I am deeply grateful to the Amazing Quantum Group for opening their doors to me and for the enriching discussions that will undoubtedly impact the final stage of my PhD.
