A Student's Guide to Quantum Computing (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783031833601)

Stefano Olivares is a physicist with expertise in quantum optics and quantum information, focusing on the optical implementation of quantum information processing. He earned his PhD in Physics from the University of Milan and is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics. Since 2012, he has taught Quantum Computing for graduate-level courses and, more recently, Thermodynamics for undergraduate physics students.

Prof. Olivares has made significant contributions to the study of quantum state generation, characterization, and application, quantum interferometry and sensing, and the dynamics of quantum properties under decoherence. His work also encompasses quantum state and operation estimation, as well as quantum communication and quantum key distribution.
