Andrea VezzosiAndrea Vezzosi is a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Prof. Ursula Rothlisberger at the Institute of Chemical Sciences and Engineering, EPFL (Switzerland). He earned his Ph.D. in Physics and Nanosciences from the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia in 2024, where he investigated spin–orbit coupling and topological states in core–shell semiconductor nanowires. During his doctoral studies, he developed nwkp, an open-source Python library for computing the band structure of core–shell nanowires using

Manuel is a PhD Candidate at EPFL in the group of Prof. Zoë Holmes, where he focuses on the numerical simulation of quantum computers. Together with his collaborators, he studies which properties make quantum circuits easy or hard to simulate classically, and how efficient classical simulability is connected to the barren plateau phenomenon. Manuel develops high-performance quantum simulation software and is
Gregor JotzuGregor Jotzu is heading the Dynamic Quantum Materials Laboratory (DQML) at EPFL. His research concerns the control of quantum materials using intense low-frequency laser pulses and the dynamics of order formation in strongly correlated quantum systems.After reading physics at the University of Oxford, he became the 2009/2010 Michael von Clemm Fellow at Harvard University. He received his doctorate from ETH Zurich, where he studied quantum magnetism and driving-induced order using ultracold atoms in optical

Our lab seeks to transform the way we produce and consume energy as a society, by exploiting the exceptional properties of emerging soft semiconductors. For this, we explore the concept of symmetry breaking in novel soft semiconductors and nanomaterials to control charge, spin and light with these printable materials.We work on uncovering the design rules to enable the next generation of cheap and flexible solar cells & ultra-bright displays, and unlock entirely new applications in quantum informati
