Brief description of the Research Team / Research Group / Department
In the BQ Research Team we are primarily focused on the implementation and development of the necessary analytical and numerical tools that allow a better and deeper understanding of light and matter on a single-event basis in a wide variety of problems. We do consider that the essence of "the quantum" transcends quantum mechanics itself and its groundbreaking concepts can be used to understand many other problems in many other different fields, and not only those strictly belongint to the realm of quantum mechanics. Quoting Feynman, if "the equations for many different physical situations have exactly the same appearance [...] having studied one subject, we immediately have a great deal of direct and precise knowledge about the solutions of the equations of another". Specifically, we are very interested in (but not exclusively limited to) those theoretical frameworks that may render explanations of light and matter phenomena on a single-event basis, during their generation, their evolution, and/or their detection, from phenomenology and related fundamental questions to straightforward applications. In this regard, we have a extensive experience in Bohmian mechanics or the quantum state diffusion, but also beam propagation methodologies in the linear and nonlinear regimes, in general, applied to both light and matter waves.
Research lines / projects proposed
At present, we are interested and developing research on the dynamics led by nonlinearities in Schrödinger-type equations, the propagation of partially coherent structured beams, single-event implementations with interest in quantum information and quantum metrology, and dissipative phenomena led by Markovian fluctuations. Should you find interesting and appealing this kind of research problems, do not hesitate and send an email to the Contact Person (a.s.sanz@fis.ucm.es) to ask for further details.
