In 1994, Paz became associate professor in the Physics Department of the
University of Buenos Aires and in 1999 associate professor. From 2003 to 2004 he was member of the technical staff at Los Alamos.Currently, Paz is a full professor in the Physics Department of the
University of Buenos Aires,Between 1984 and 2004 he was married to Silvina Ponce Dawson (who is also a physicist) with whom he had two children. From 2019 to 2023, he was vice
secretary of science (
secretario de Articulación Científico Tecnológica, Secretary of Scientific and Technological Coordination) in the government of
Alberto Fernández. Currently, Paz is a full professor in the Physics Department of the
University of Buenos Aires, where he leads the
Quantum Foundations and Information group.
Research Paz has worked on the quantum theory of
quantum error correction, and has developed a number of techniques to correct errors in quantum computers. He has also studied how to use quantum computers to simulate chaotic systems, in the context of
chaos theory. In 2002, alongside César Miguel and Marcos Saraceno, he developed a program that allows efficient
spectroscopy and
tomography using a
quantum computer, establishing for the first time an analogy between these tasks. == Personal life ==
