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 work under the supervision of Dr. Pieter Claeys in the Dynamics of Quantum Information group, where we study quantum thermalization and free probability theory.
I earned both my bachelor's and master's degrees at the University of São Paulo (USP) under the supervision of Prof. Gabriel T. Landi. I also spent five months at Uppsala University as an Erasmus exchange student. There, I studied holonomic quantum computing under the supervision of Prof. Erik Sjöqvist.
My main interests are quantum thermodynamics, quantum parameter estimation and statistics, quantum computing, and many-body theory.
