Carlo Cafaro

Carlo Cafaro is Associate Professor in the Department of Nanoscale Science & Engineering at the University at Albany. His research examines foundations of theoretical physics including quantum information theory, relativity, and mathematical physics.

Education:

• PhD Physics, University at Albany
• MA Theoretical Physics, University of Pisa

Research develops information geometric approaches to quantum complexity, quantum error correction methods for combating decoherence, and geometric Clifford algebra applications in electrodynamics. Current projects analyze quantum evolution curvature in magnetic fields and thermodynamic universality in black hole radiation.

Holds editorial appointments at International Journal of Theoretical Physics, Foundations, Quantum Reports, and Entropy. Received multiple Air Force Research Laboratory fellowships for quantum networking infrastructure research.

Teaching includes Physics I/II, Calculus, Differential Equations, Quantum Foundations, and graduate seminars in applied mathematics.
