In 1996\, she moved to Saclay (Paris) as an European Post-Doct oral Research Fellow\, and in 1998 was appointed research fellow at the Le ibninz University\, in Hannover (Germany) where she did her habilitation a nd became Professor Assistant. Since 2005 she is an ICREA Research Profess or. Her research interests are quite interdisciplinary and range from quan tum information theory\, to quantum gases and more recently condensed matt er. Presently\, she is working in the interface between quantum informatio n and condensed matter. She has stable collaborations with different resea rch groups both at national and international level. Otherwise\, she is fo nd of literature\, sports and children.\nABSTRACT: \;\nThe study of Qu antum Information Theory is strongly based on geometrical tools. \; Co nvex sets and cones\, polytopes\, hyperplanes\, and distances \; are\, among others\, crucial concepts to characterize quantum states and quantu m resources. Interestingly\, a similar approach can be used to study the s et of local Hamiltonians describing many-body systems\, helping to elucida te which is the entanglement capability of many-body Hamiltonians. \;\ nIn this talk I will discuss the use of such geometrical approach to showc ase some advances on the characterization of quantum states \; and res ources\, and their application in the symmetric subspace. I will present a s well \; some open problems and challenges in quantum information the ory\, whose solution remains elusive after thirty years of intense researc h.\n \;\n \;\n \; DTSTAMP:20260407T235406Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
