Cristiano Ciuti

Cristiano Ciuti is a Professor at Paris Cité University and Director of MPQ (Matière et Phénomènes Quantiques). His research focuses on theoretical aspects of quantum systems, particularly in

• Condensed matter theory
• Quantum optics
• Open quantum many-body systems
• Quantum machine learning

His work explores non-equilibrium quantum critical phenomena, cavity/circuit quantum electrodynamics, and quantum technologies.

Recent publications show strong emphasis on 2025 topics: many-body false vacuum decay, symmetry-protected Zeno transitions, and superfluidity in disordered systems. Earlier papers (2023-2021) cover

• Dissipative phase transitions
• Quantum Zeno effects
• Non-Hermitian dynamics
• Open quantum system theory

Scientific recognition includes:

• Fellow of the American Physical Society (2021)
• Friedel-Volterra Prize (2019)
• ERC Consolidator Grant (2013)
• IUF Junior Membership (2010)

He has supervised numerous PhD students since 2007, including Valentin Heyraud (2023), Kaelan Donatella (2022), and Simone De Liberato (2009).
