Tommaso Roscilde

Tommaso Roscilde is a Lecturer at the Physics Laboratory of École Normale Supérieure de Lyon (ENS de Lyon), specializing in theoretical quantum physics. He holds a PhD from the University of Padua (2003) and has conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Southern California and the Max-Planck Institute for Quantum Optics. His research focuses on quantum simulation, particularly the controlled realization of quantum systems in atomic physics and condensed matter contexts, with emphasis on excitations, spin models, and many-body phenomena.

Key honors include Junior membership in the Institut Universitaire de France (2013) and an INCITE Award from the U.S. Department of Energy (2007-2009). His work spans quantum spin systems, dipolar Rydberg atoms, Bose-Einstein condensates, and entanglement dynamics, addressing topics like quantum criticality, symmetry breaking, and spin squeezing. Recent studies highlight quench dynamics, spatial reconstruction of quantum correlations, and critical slowing down effects.
