Primary activity: Research activity carried out in the field of Quantum Information, dealing with generation of entangled photon states in nonlinear crystals by spontaneous parametric down conversion, detection and characterization of entanglement, creation of generalized mixed entangled photon states with tunable mixing parameter, quantum nonlocality, besides multiqubit hyperentangled and cluster photon states and their application for quantum computation. More recently Paolo Mataloni has performed experiments dealing with the use of integrated waveguide photonic systems for the miniaturization and integration of quantum information processes and devices, opening novel perspectives for the experimental simulation of quantum physical processes.

Main experiences acquired: Generation, manipulation, measure and detection of quantum photon states within both bulk and integrated photonic systems for quantum computation, quantum communication and quantum metrology applications.
