I am a researcher working at the interface between quantum information, quantum foundations, and quantum computing... I study subjects such as causality in quantum theory, indefinite causal order, and higher-order quantum theory. I focus on the design of conceptual and mathematical frameworks to describe, manipulate and understand these ideas. I try to figure out what they can teach us both from a foundational and an applied perspective... My thesis, awarded by Imperial College, was carried out at the Quantum Group of the University of Oxford, supervised by Jonathan Barrett and Giulio Chiribella. It focused on the development of routed quantum circuits, an extended formal framework to encompass quantum scenarios that do not fit within the standard framework for quantum theory, that of quantum circuits.
