Open Quantum Systems: Prof. Sabrina Maniscalco
Prof. Maniscalco is the chair of Theoretical Physics at Turku and the leader of the Open Quantum Systems research group. She has contributed substantially to quantum stochastic processes, the theory of open quantum systems and non-Markovian dynamics. She is coordinating a European FET Project on Quantum Probes for Complex Systems, and has been in charge of original outreach events like the Quantum Circus and the Quantum Game Jam.

Quantum Metrology: Prof. Susana Huelga
Prof. Huelga is a Professor of Quantum Optics at the Institute of Theoretical Physics, Ulm. She delivered seminal contributions to quantum estimation theory, quantum computing, metrology and sensing technologies, classical stochastic resonance and the burgeoning field of quantum biology. Her work has elucidated the ultimate limits on the speed of evolution of mixed quantum states, and associated precision limits for estimation in the presence of noise.
