Matías R. Bolaños Wagner

He graduated from Universidad Nacional de La Plata (Argentina) in 2021, with the degree of Licenciado en Física (equivalent to a master degree in Physics).

Before coming to Italy, he worked with the Integrated Photonics group, from Centro de Investigaciones Ópticas of La Plata for around 2 years. There, he conducted his thesis, “Photon counting and detection in quantum optics experiments”, under the supervision of Dr. Lorena Rebón and Dr. Fabián Videla, where he studied the necessary components to develop a Quantum Key Distribution laboratory setup, and designed and implemented a coincidence counting module on an FPGA platform.

He is currently working on the QSI project “Intermodal Quantum Communications in Free-Space and Fiber” towards improving free-space to fiber quantum interfaces, as a member of the Quantum Future research group under the supervision of Professors Paolo Villoresi and Giuseppe Vallone.
