Dr. Alessia Allevi Appointed Section Editor-in-Chief of Section “Quantum Photonics and Technologies” in Photonics


Photonics (ISSN 2304-6732) is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Alessia Allevi (University of Insubria, Italy) as Section Editor-in-Chief (SEiC) of the Section “Quantum Photonics and Technologies”.

Dr. Alessia Allevi, experimental physicist, is an associate professor in the Department of Science and High Technology at the University of Insubria, Italy. Her research focuses on light–matter interactions, specifically in the areas of nonlinear optics, quantum optics, quantum information, and the characterization of photodetectors.

Since 2023, she has coordinated the bachelor’s and master’s degree programs in physics, and, since 2024, the postgraduate program in quantum technologies. For years, she has been dedicated to educational activities for high school students and to Physics outreach.

The following is a short Q&A with Dr. Alessia Allevi, who shared her vision for the journal with us, as well as his views of the research area and open access publishing:

1. What about the journal appealed to you and made you want to take the role of Section Editor-in-Chief?
The journal, which combines photonics with quantum technologies, aligns with my research interests. From a broader perspective, I am firmly convinced that these areas are very important for scientific development and that they can have a significant impact on everyday life.

2. What is your vision for the Section “Quantum Photonics and Technologies”?
I hope there will be more articles dedicated to experimental research, so that we can better highlight the potential of quantum technologies based on the use of light and its properties.

3. What does the future of this field of research look like?
Differently from other approaches, the quantum technologies based on photonics benefit from the advantages offered by the speed of light and greater robustness in interactions with the environment, making this type of approach particularly appealing for several applications.

4. What suggestions do you have for journals and publishers to better support young scholars and serve the academic community?
We could support the publication of articles in which young researchers (PhD students and postdocs) serve as corresponding authors. We could also encourage the publication of Special Issues dedicated to them or edited by them.

5. What do you think of the development of open access in the publishing field?
It's a good opportunity to make articles easily accessible, even though the costs are often prohibitive, especially for young researchers.

We wish Dr. Alessia Allevi every success in her new position, and we look forward to her contributions to the journal.
