Research Interest

Fabio Taddei research activity is within the theory of quantum and spin-dependent transport in nanostructures and graphene, and the study of the phase dynamics in superconducting circuits. More specifically, he have been working on: spin-dependent transport in hybrid superconductor/ferromagnet systems; time-dependent transport: adiabatic pumping in hybrid and spintronic structures; detection of electronic entanglement in multi-terminal structures thorough Bell-like inequalities and witness operators; spin-dependent non-equilibrium transport in hybrid superconductor/normal structures; heat transport and cooling in nanostructures; phase dynamics in superconducting circuits: mesoscopic Josephson junctions and quantum bits; transport in graphene nanoribbons: impact of strain, quantizing magnetic filed and proximity to superconductors. Recently he had started working on Majorana bound states in 1D nanowires and on thermoelectricity in hybrid multi-terminal systems.
