Quantum Matter Group
Exploring ultracold atoms and strongly correlated quantum systems
Explore Our ResearchThe Quantum Matter Group, led by César Cabrera at IGFAE, University of Santiago de Compostela (Galicia, Spain), studies complex quantum many-body systems using quantum simulation with ultracold dipolar atoms.
Quantum simulation is a powerful approach to studying complex quantum systems that are too difficult to understand with conventional computers or analytical methods. Instead of solving the problem mathematically, we build a highly controllable quantum system that reproduces the same underlying physics. By manipulating ultracold atoms with precisely tuned interactions, we can emulate the behavior of quantum materials and gain insight into phenomena such as superfluidity, magnetism, and strongly correlated quantum matter.
Ultracold Quantum Gases for Quantum Simulation
We investigate the properties of quantum matter using ultracold atoms with strong dipolar interactions. By cooling magnetic atoms to near absolute zero, we want to create a clean and tunable model system to study superfluidity, fermionic pairing, and other strongly correlated quantum phases.
Dipolar Fermi mixtures
We are currently developing a dipolar Fermi mixture experiment to study fermionic pairing and superfluidity, with a focus on anisotropic and topological superfluidity.
We are interested in the connection of strongly correlated quantum liquids and supersolids with the BEC-BCS crossover.
