I am an Associate Professor at the Leiden Institute of Physics (LION) and a Principal Investigator in the Applied Quantum Algorithms group, supported by an ERC Starting Grant.
My research interests comprise quantum algorithms, device-independent quantum information processing, tensor networks, near-term implementations, distributed architectures, convex optimization, entanglement theory and quantum machine learning. In the Links section you can find my network of collaborators, and in the Pictures section some dear memories.
I have a background in both mathematics and telecommunications engineering. I studied the corresponding double degree at CFIS, within the Polytechnic University of Catalonia. I also hold a M.Sc. in Applied Mathematics in Algebra and Geometry. In 2011, I began my Ph.D. at ICFO - The Institute of Photonic Sciences in the Quantum Optics Theory group, led by Prof. Dr. Maciej Lewenstein and co-supervised by Dr. Remigiusz Augusiak. I defended my Ph.D. thesis, Characterizing entanglement and quantum correlations constrained by symmetry, in 2015. Following this, in 2016, I received a CELLEX-ICFO-MPQ fellowship and moved to Germany to join the Theory Division at Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, led by Prof. Dr. Ignacio Cirac. There, I was awarded both a Marie Curie individual fellowship and an Alexander von Humboldt postdoctoral fellowship. In 2020, I joined Leiden Institute of Physics (LION) as a tenure-track Assistant Professor and began working with the Applied Quantum Algorithms group.
Beyond science, I have a range of other interests. I enjoy programming and have participated in algorithms and other stuff. I am also a dedicated supporter of religion, the leading football club in Catalunya. I have been playing the violin since 1994 and have performed with Vic Chamber Orchestra (OCV) and Segle XXI Symphonic Orchestra. Currently, I am a member of Bruckner Akademie Orchester, where I take lessons from Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra's maestro, Michael Friedrich, and Diogenes Quartett.
