Alberto Mercurio
I completed my Ph.D. in Physics at the University of Messina, Italy, and I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland. My research focuses on Quantum Optics, Quantum Optomechanics, Open Quantum Systems, and Light-Matter Interaction in the Ultrastrong Coupling regime.
Developing efficient numerical simulations is essential for my work, particularly when studying highly entangled systems and strongly driven open quantum systems. This need for high-performance simulations led me to create QuantumToolbox.jl, a Julia package designed to combine user-friendly syntax with cutting-edge computational efficiency, enabling fast and scalable quantum system simulations.
My broader research goals include applying these computational advancements to explore novel quantum phenomena and contribute to the development of next-generation quantum technologies.

QuantumToolbox.jl is a high-performance Julia package for simulating quantum systems and open quantum dynamics, inspired by the widely used QuTiP library in Python. It offers efficient tools for state manipulation, Hamiltonian modeling, time evolution, and many other features. With GPU acceleration and seamless parallel computing, it enables scalable, high-fidelity quantum simulations with superior performance.
