Antonio Acín is an ICREA Research Professor at the ICFO -The Institute of Photonic Sciences. He has a degree in Physics from the Universitat de Barcelona (UB) and in Telecommunication Engineer from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. He got his PhD in Theoretical Physics in 2001 from the UB. After a post-doctoral stay in Geneva, in the group of Prof. Gisin (GAP-Optique), he joined ICFO in 2003. In 2008 he was awarded a Starting Grant from the European Research Council.
Since 2003 Antonio Acín leads the Quantum Information Theory group at ICFO. His research interests range from abstract concepts to applied problems in this field, with an emphasis in Quantum Communication, Entanglement Theory and Quantum Non-locality. More recently, the group activities have been enlarged to other areas, such as Quantum Optics and Many-Body Physics.

Research Interests
|
|
|
Most of the research work by Antonio Acín is in Quantum Information Theory. This is a scientific area that studies how information is processed and transmitted when encoded on quantum particles. Using the quantum effects, new information tasks become possible: more powerful computers, unbreakable cryptography protocols and quantum teleportation. It is a very inter-disciplinary area combining tools and concepts from Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics and Engineering. More recently, his research activity also covers aspects of Many-Body Physics and Quantum Optics.
