Ana Predojevic

Ana Predojevic is a University Lecturer at the Department of Physics, Stockholm University, focusing on quantum photonics and quantum technologies. Her research explores quantum optics, quantum information, and the generation and characterization of entangled light states using semiconductor devices and nonlinear processes.

She completed her Habilitation at the University of Innsbruck (2016) and earned a PhD in Quantum Optics from the Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO) in Barcelona (2009). Her research career includes prestigious fellowships such as the Elise Richter and Lise Meitner awards from the Austrian Science Fund.

Her recent work emphasizes two-photon interference, phonon-induced dephasing, photon indistinguishability, and multipartite entanglement engineering, leveraging cavity quantum electrodynamics and deep learning techniques for quantum state analysis. She has contributed to advancements in micropillar cavity devices for efficient photon pair generation and polarization entanglement studies in quantum dot systems.

Scientific Awards:

• Elise Richter Fellowship (2014)
• Kanada Prize, University of Innsbruck (2014)
• Nachwuchsförderung Young Researcher Award (2013)
• Lise Meitner Fellowship (2010)
• Generalitat de Catalunya PhD Fellowship (2005)

Her current role involves developing quantum light sources for real-world applications in communication, sensing, and simulation, working with the Quantum Photonics group at Stockholm University.
