My main research topic is to find implementations of the Weak Value protocol in condensed matter systems. We study systems such as AB-interferometers, Mach-Zehnder interferometers in the fractional quantum Hall Regime, and superconducting phase qubits.

I co-founded a student collaboration in order to study the topological phases of quasicrystals. We have managed, thus far, to prove that quasicrystals possess a topological classification that is usually existing in dimensions higher than their own. We verify our analysis using a photonic quasi-lattice experiment.

I have written my Master thesis in Prof. D. Loss group. My research topic was the study of multi-particle qubits. We defined a mathematical language that enabled us to categorize physical systems as possible candidates for quantum computation. The work can be viewed as a pdf.

Some of the results were published in
Controlled-NOT for multiparticle qubits and topological quantum computation based on parity measurements, OZ, B. Braunecker, and D. Loss, Phys. Rev. A 77, 012327 (2008), [arXiv:0708.1062] which was listed in Virtual J. of Nanotech. 17(5) (2008) and Virtual J. on Quant. Inf. 8(2),(2008).

The results were also presented at the FNST2008 conference as a poster.

I have made a project work in the group of Prof. C. Schönenberger. In this project I have studied the "Gold-atoms motion on mechanically controllable break junctions contacts". The work can be viewed as a pdf.

I have worked as part of the BIGDFT project in Prof. S. Goedecker group. My work included code parallelization and optimization, and diagonalization algorithm implementation.
