Angelo Bassi

Angelo Bassi is a Full Professor at the Department of Physics, University of Trieste. He serves in multiple administrative roles including as Delegato per la mobilità studentesca internazionale in the Head's Office, and as a member of the Department's Board, Boards of Studies, and Doctoral Studies Boards across multiple physics programs.

His research focuses on the foundations of quantum mechanics, quantum gravity, and quantum information science. He leads investigations into spontaneous wave function collapse models, quantum measurement problems, and the interface between quantum mechanics and gravity. His work bridges theoretical physics with potential experimental tests of quantum foundations.

Professor Bassi's research spans quantum mechanics foundations, collapse models, quantum gravity, and quantum technologies. His work on the Schrödinger-Newton equation, spontaneous collapse models like Continuous Spontaneous Localization (CSL), and the quantum nature of gravity represents cutting-edge research at the boundary of quantum theory and general relativity. His publications reveal a strong focus on both theoretical frameworks and experimental tests of quantum foundations.

His recent work shows a clear trend toward testing the quantum nature of gravity through various experimental approaches including atom interferometry, diffusion processes, and quantum communication protocols. His publications cover quantum information, quantum gravity, and foundational quantum mechanics, with particular emphasis on collapse models and their experimental verification.

Professor Bassi leads or participates in multiple research projects including "QuCoM - Quantum Control of Gravity with Levitated Mechanics," "Quantum Italy Deployment," "National Quantum Science and Technology Institute," and "Collapse Points Quantum Mechanics." His work is supported by various funding sources including INFN (Istituto Nazionale Fisica Nucleare).

He has served on multiple Doctoral Studies Boards for Physics programs across various cycles (XXIX to XXXIX), demonstrating his commitment to graduate education and mentorship. While specific students aren't listed in the provided information, his extensive involvement in doctoral programs suggests active supervision of PhD candidates.

Professor Bassi is a member of the Quantum Mechanics and Foundations research group within the Theoretical Physics research area, focusing on Quantum Science and Technologies. His research has significant implications for understanding the quantum-classical boundary and the potential unification of quantum mechanics with gravity.
