Professor Gabriel Landi is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Rochester since 2022. Previously, he held positions at UFABC (2013-2016) and the University of São Paulo (2016-2022). He received his PhD in Physics from the University of São Paulo in 2012. His research focuses on theoretical quantum information sciences, particularly open quantum systems, quantum thermodynamics, and quantum metrology. He explores reformulating thermodynamic laws in quantum-coherent contexts, addressing fundamental questions and proposing applications in quantum sensing and computing. Landi is an associate editor at PRX Quantum and a member of the Brazilian Physical Society, recognized with the 2022 Robert E. Marshak Lectureship.
His research interests include quantum stochastic processes, thermodynamic irreversibility, quantum resource theories, and the interplay between coherence and thermodynamic efficiency. Landi’s work bridges theoretical frameworks with experimental applications, such as quantum heat engines and energy harvesting devices. He contributes to interdisciplinary efforts, including quantum information’s role in high-energy physics strategy updates.
Landi’s recent publications (2023–2025) address topics like quantum battery dynamics, fluctuation theorems, collision models, and entropy production in non-equilibrium systems. His studies emphasize precision in quantum thermometry and the foundational aspects of quantum coherence in thermodynamic processes.
