Caterina Vigliar is a Postdoc at the Technical University of Denmark, working on the development of novel Photonic Quantum Communication Integrated technologies that will be the cornerstone of much of today’s societal advancement, whether for securing critical infrastructure, protecting financial transactions, or simply keeping private conversations private in a world where quantum computers are becoming a much closer reality.
Leveraging on her experience on Quantum Computing Technologies, achieved while completing her Master studies in Rome and Ph.D. studies in the UK, Caterina is currently developing realistic photonics chips for new single-photon- and entanglement-based Quantum Communication schemes that could offer enhanced security via advanced encodings and their use within Quantum Networks.
Born in Venice to a family of Neapolitan musicians and people of letters, she embraces both arts and science, having lived in various cities in Italy and abroad. Caterina is passionate about teaching, outreach, painting, and playing the piano. She lives in Copenhagen, between the Niels Bohr Institute and DTU, together with her partner – also a Physicist – and their three-year-old son.
The prize committee will select a winner who will be announced at an award ceremony at the KIF Annual Meeting on June 4th, 2024 taking place at Aud. A, Niels Bohr Institute, Blegdamsvej 17, 2100 Copenhagen.
The winner will be notified in writing in advance and invited to give a talk following the ceremony.
