Federica Beduini

Born halfway between Milan and the birthplace of Volta, since I was a child I have been educated in schools dedicated to Italian physicists (except for a short break in "Dante Alighieri" school): I took this as an omen and I decided to study Physics at the Università degli Studi of Milan, where I obtained both my Bachelor and Master degrees (*).

There I fell in love with photons and their quantum properties, that's why I moved to a photonic institute like ICFO to do my PhD: my task in these years will be to work both theoretically and experimentally with squeezing and entanglement. In particular, I aim to show that polarization squeezing - as a collective phenomenon - is an efficient technique to entangle many photons in a way that any two photons in the state are entangled.
