Full professor of Quantum Optics and Quantum Systems and Information. Fellow of the Optical Society of America. Member of the Lombard Academy of Sciences and Letters. Member of Center for Photonic Communication and Computing, ECE Department, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL Started Quantum Optics and Quantum Information at Pavia University. Conceived and developed the popular tomography method for quantum states for general quantum systems. Ideated the first feasible method for experimental characterization of quantum devices. With his young school he introduced the method of quantum combs, along with many optimal quantum protocols and measurement setups (including the optimal quantum broadcasting and the optimal phase estimation for mixed states). Derived the mathematical structure of Quantum Mechanics from five operational axioms, and, recently, in collaboration with his disciples G. Chiribella and P. Perinotti, he closed his axiomatization program with a first derivation of Quantum Theory from information-theoretic principles. Introduced novel theoretical methods to deal with covariant measurements and transformations, which has lead him and his group to the solution of the long-standing problems of phase-estimation and broadcasting of mixed states of qubits.

Research Interests Quantum Information and Quantum Mechanics of Measurements and Open Systems. New types of quantum devices: programmable quantum devices. New kinds of quantum measurements.
