Ernesto F. Galvão - IF-UFF

I am an associate professor at the Instituto de Física of the Universidade Federal Fluminense (IF-UFF for short), in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil.

My main research is in the areas of quantum information and foundations of quantum mechanics. Some research interests:

• Non-universal models of quantum computation (e.g. matchgates, linear optics, etc);
• quantum computation using photonic chips;
• measurement-based quantum computation;
• models for time-travel in quantum mechanics;
• non-locality, contextuality and other foundational issues in QM.

A complete list of my scientific publications can be found here; alternatively, check out my Google Scholar page. Visit also the site of my research group at UFF.

I am currently supervising Master's student André Oestereich and undergrad students Allan David Cony Tosta and Lucas Lima.

Alumni:
Daniel Jost Brod - PhD 2014, currently a postdoctoral fellow at Perimeter Institute.
Raphael Dias da Silva - PhD 2013, currently not in academia.
