I am a physicist and PhD student at the Materials Physics Center (CFM/MPC, CSIC–UPV/EHU), where I carry out my research at the intersection of condensed matter physics and quantum computing and simulation. My work focuses on the study of out-of-equilibrium quantum systems, with special attention to the phenomenon of time crystals.
My research combines theoretical and experimental approaches. On the theoretical side, I use advanced numerical methods and quantum dynamics simulations to describe the time evolution of these systems. These simulations are then used to benchmark and validate results from experiments on real quantum hardware, specifically IBM’s quantum processors, such as the Heron processor, integrated in the IBM Quantum System Two installed in Donostia.
In addition, our experimental work is complemented by atomic-scale studies using a scanning tunneling microscope with electron spin resonance capability (ESR-STM), installed at CFM in Donostia.
