Ludovico Lami

Ludovico Lami is an Assistant Professor (RTdB) at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, Italy. Previously, he held an Assistant Professor position at the University of Amsterdam and QuSoft (2022–2024). His research focuses on quantum information science, mathematical physics, and foundational aspects of quantum theory.

Education:

• Bachelor/Master in Physics (2015) from Scuola Normale Superiore (Italy), graduating with maximum grades.
• Ph.D. in Physics (2017) from the Autonomous University of Barcelona, supervised by Andreas Winter, earning the Special Award for Doctoral Studies.

Research Interests: Quantum Shannon theory, quantum resource theories (entanglement, coherence, magic), quantum communication (especially continuous-variable systems), and foundational connections between quantum physics and general probabilistic theories. His work emphasizes theoretical frameworks and applications in quantum information processing.

Awards & Grants:

• ERC Starting Grant (€1.5M, 2024) for research on entanglement theory and quantum Shannon theory.
• Gold Medal at the Italian Physics Olympiad (2009).
• 1st Prize for Best Experimental Examination (2009).

Professional Experience:

• Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Nottingham (2017–2019) under Gerardo Adesso.
• Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Ulm (2019–2022).

Key Contributions: Notable work includes exploring irreversibility in entanglement theory, presented in a plenary talk at QIP 2022. His research bridges theoretical foundations and practical applications in quantum communication and resource theory.
