Vittorio Bellani is a professor of physics at Pavia University, specializing in advanced materials for green energy applications and quantum technologies. His research explores the fundamental physical properties of these materials, employing a variety of advanced experimental techniques. These include scanning tunneling microscopy, elastic and inelastic light scattering, photoluminescence spectroscopy, and the study of local and non-local electrical transport in quantizing magnetic fields. His work extends into the extreme quantum limit, demanding precise control over conditions such as ultra-low temperatures, down to a few millikelvins, and high magnetic fields. To achieve these conditions, he also conducts experiments using cutting-edge instrumentation at international research facilities.
At St. John’s, Vittorio aims to deepen our understanding of quantum science and its practical applications. His research focuses on spin-based quantum networks, nanoscale quantum sensing, and the development of novel materials for next-generation quantum devices. By bridging fundamental physics with applied research, he advances quantum technology, including solid-state light-matter interactions, quantum computing, and high-precision sensing techniques.
