He is a theoretical physicist specializing in quantum technologies and mathematical physics. Slaoui earned his Ph.D degree from Mohammed V University with a thesis titled "Intrinsic relationships of quantum resource theories and their roles in quantum metrology." Following that, he served as a postdoctoral researcher at the Centre of Physics and Mathematics (CPM). Slaoui's research focuses primarily on the fundamental concept of quantumness, studying its manifestations through nonclassicality, quantum coherence, and entanglement. A major thrust of his work is understanding the role these resources play in the dynamics of quantum many-body systems and in the burgeoning field of quantum metrology. More broadly, his interests lie in the dynamics of quantum resources within open quantum systems, which naturally incorporates an interest in quantum metrology and measurement theory. Furthermore, he explores the critical interplay between information and thermodynamics in the quantum regime, alongside the development and implementation of quantum communication protocols for quantum computers. Prof. Slaoui has authored and co-authored several scientific papers, actively participating in numerous national and international congresses where he presented his research. Additionally, he has been invited to act as a reviewer for many scientific manuscripts from prestigious journals. Beyond his academic pursuits, Prof. Slaoui is passionate about engaging the public in Quantum Physics activities. He is a member of the National Network of Young Researchers in Sciences, and he is involved in the organization of national and international events.Xianhua Song received her B.S. and M.S. degrees from Jilin University in 2005 and 2007 and the Ph.
