QuCoA 🍫 Quantum Correlations and Applications


Quantum correlations are the secret ingredient behind many of the most fascinating phenomena in physics. From generating exotic phases of matter to plethora of phases of matter to powering quantum computing through entanglement, understanding and controlling these correlations is key to building the next generation of quantum technologies.

Our mission at QuCoA is to explore quantum correlations from different angles. We take an interdisciplinary approach, drawing on models and tools from condensed matter physics, statistical mechanics, quantum information theory, and quantum computing.

We are currently working on some exciting applications. For example, we diving into quantum thermodynamics, an emerging sub-field of quantum sciences holding the promise of more efficient quantum devices. One of our goals is to understand how entanglement can help us to extract more work and how can we engineer controls to realistic thermal machines at the quantum level. We are also exploring a fascinating new direction: using quantum computers to simulate these thermodynamic processes directly.

Our interests are centered in a few research lines. You are invited to check them out!
