Marco Tomamichel

Marco Tomamichel is a Senior Lecturer and Australian Research Council (ARC) Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA) fellow at the Centre for Quantum Software and Information, which is part of the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology at the University of Technology Sydney.

He received his Master of Science in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology from ETH Zurich, where he was awarded the prestigious ETH Medal, followed by a doctorate in Theoretical Physics from the same institution. Prior to joining the University of Technology Sydney, Dr. Tomamichel held research positions at the Centre for Quantum Technologies in Singapore and the University of Sydney.

Dr. Tomamichel's research lies at the intersection of information theory, computer science, and quantum physics, with a particular focus on the mathematical foundations of quantum information theory. His work explores entropy and other information measures, and addresses theoretical questions in quantum communication and cryptography when resources are limited. His research examines quantum information processing with noisy and limited resources, cryptography in a quantum world, mathematical foundations of quantum information, and other applications of quantum information theory in physics, engineering, and computer science.

His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on quantum information theory, with particular emphasis on entropies, divergences, and their applications. His work spans fundamental theoretical developments in quantum information measures, quantum cryptography protocols, quantum communication theory, and connections to quantum thermodynamics and machine learning. The recurring theme across his publications is the rigorous mathematical treatment of quantum information processing tasks, often focusing on finite-resource scenarios that are relevant for near-term quantum technologies.

Dr. Tomamichel has received significant recognition for his research, including:

• Australian Research Council Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA)
• ETH Medal for Master's degree

Dr. Tomamichel is available for Masters Research and PhD student supervision. His funded research projects include "Securing the quantum internet with high-dimensional quantum systems" (ARC Discovery Projects), "Topological algebra, first-order logic, and computability" (Royal Society of New Zealand), and "Enhancing Communication using Small Quantum Devices" (ARC DECRA Scheme).

Dr. Tomamichel is actively involved in the quantum information research community, serving as an editor for "Quantum - the open journal for quantum science" and participating in numerous conference organizing committees including TQC, QIP, and Quantum Cryptography conferences.
