Žan Kokalj is a Phd student under the supervision of Prof. Andrea Trombettoni, at University of Trieste, part of the MAWI network. Žan obtained his MSc degree at ETH Zurich, with a focus on Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics, computational statistical physics and solid-state physics.
In his doctoral work, he specializes in developing a realistic theoretical framework for modern quantum interferometers. His research centers on atom interferometers made up of two weakly interacting Bose-Einstein condensates. A key focus is understanding how the sensitivity of these highly precise measurement devices scales with its size and depending on other realistic external influences that might hinder this scaling.
