MdM-IFISC-2
Maria de Maeztu 2023-2026
P.I.: Ernesto Estrada, Ingo Fischer, Emilio Hernández-García, Rosa Lopez, Claudio Mirasso, Jose Javier Ramasco, Raúl Toral, Roberta Zambrini
After 15 years of its existence, IFISC can point to a proven track record of impactful research. The previous 2018-2022 MdM award has significantly enhanced the institute's capabilities, as demonstrated by an …
CoQuSy
Complex Quantum Systems: machine learning, thermodynamics, and emergent phenomena
P.I.: Gian Luca Giorgi, Gonzalo Manzano, Roberta Zambrini
CoQuSy is a coordinated project and joins all the researchers at IFISC (belonging either to CSIC or UIB) working in the common line of complex quantum systems. The coordination is motivated by …
INFOLANET
Information processing with coupled laser networks
P.I.: Apostolos Argyris, Miguel C. Soriano
In the INFOLANET project, we will combine the expertise of the PIs on dynamical systems and machine learning to advance information processing concepts, based on a high-speed photonic implementation. We anticipate that …
CATSUIT
Climbing at the Source of Irreversibility
P.I.: Massimiliano Zanin
Irreversibility, i.e. the lack of invariance of the statistical properties of a system or time series under the operation of time reversal, has attracted the interest of the physics community since the …
QNet
Transport, metastability, and neuromorphic applications in quantum networks
P.I.: Gian Luca Giorgi, Roberta Zambrini
QNet is a European project funded under the call Quantera 2023. The consortium is coordinated by Ticijana Ban from the Institute of Physics, Zagreb, and is also composed of IFISC, Universität des …
SuMQuTT
Surfing Multiterminal Quantum Thermodynamics and Topology
P.I.: Rosa Lopez, Llorenç Serra

CoQuaDis
Collective quantum phenomena in dissipative systems – towards time-crystal applications in sensing and metrology
P.I.: Roberta Zambrini
This project seeks to identify and realize quantum resources yielding a possible quantum advantage by exploiting collective phenomena in open systems. The benefit of this approach is that it does not rely …
SNANDOG
Spatiotemporal Nonlocal and Non-conservative Diffusion on Graphs
P.I.: Ernesto Estrada
Complex systems permeate biological life, society, and modern infrastructures. Their functioning depends primarily on the dynamic processes that take place between interacting entities that form network structures. Such structures can be appropriately …
QUANTCOM
Exploring the Intersection of Quantum Phenomena and Next-Generation Computing
P.I.: Gian Luca Giorgi
Emerging properties of driven-dissipative nonlinear quantum oscillators offer a unique advantage in terms of processing capacity, making these systems strong candidates for real-world applications in a variety of quantum technology contexts. They …
