Romano Alfonso

Romano Alfonso is an Associate Professor affiliated with the CNR - Institute for Superconductors, Innovative Materials and Devices at the University of Salerno. His research focuses on condensed matter physics, particularly in superconductivity, quantum materials, and electronic correlations in strongly correlated systems.

Key research interests include the study of unconventional superconductors (e.g., Sr2RuO4, Ca2RuO4), spin-orbital interactions in Hubbard models, and quantum transport phenomena in hybrid systems. He also explores theoretical frameworks for quantum computing algorithms applied to condensed matter systems, such as variational quantum eigensolvers for the Hubbard and Anderson models.

Recent work highlights include investigations into the electronic structure of Ca2RuO4 using the Zaanen-Sawatzky-Allen approach, crystal growth of Bi-based topological superconductors, and the role of chiral domains in spin-triplet superconductors. His publications span topics like magnetic instabilities in quasi-one-dimensional materials, spin-charge transport in ferromagnet-superconductor heterostructures, and quantum entanglement measures in lattice models.

Despite an extensive publication record (99 articles listed), no scientific awards or grants are explicitly mentioned in the provided text. No advising roles or student collaborations are noted here.

Laboratory affiliations include the CNR Institute for Superconductors, where he contributes to interdisciplinary research on superconductivity, materials synthesis, and advanced characterization techniques for quantum materials.
