About me


Hello! I am Gabriel Oliveira Alves, a PhD student at the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems (MPI-PKS). I am currently working under the supervision of Dr. Pieter Claeys, in the group of Dynamics of Quantum Information, where we are dealing with Quantum Thermalization and Free Probability Theory.

I previously obtained both my bachelor and my master's at the University of São Paulo (USP) under the supervision of Prof. Gabriel T. Landi. I also spent five months at the university of Uppsala as an Erasmus exchange student. There, I worked on holonomic quantum computing under the supervision of Prof. Erik Sjöqvist.

I am mainly interested in quantum thermodynamics, quantum parameter estimation and statistics, as well as quantum computing and many-body theory.
