About
Alberto Politi received the B.Eng. degree in Electrical Engineering and M.Phys. degree from the University of Pavia, Pavia (IT) in 2003 and 2005, respectively. He obtained his PhD degree at the Centre for Quantum Photonics, University of Bristol, Bristol (U.K) in 2010 where he demonstrated the first chip for quantum photonics, the first integrated optical quantum algorithm and other key ingredients for optical quantum technologies. After a postdoctoral position at the Center for Quantum Photonics, he was research assistant at the University of California, Santa Barbara (USA) from 2011 to 2013 working on solid-state quantum computing using silicon carbide colour centres. Alberto is currently Associate Professor in the School of Physics and Astronomy at Southampton, where he leads the Quantum nanoPhotonics Lab.
