Have you ever asked yourselves how we can measure the smallest changes in time, space, or gravity? Does quantum mechanics play a role within this game?
Hi! I am Erik, and I am currently a PhD student in the group working on quantum metrology and quantum information. In particular, I work in designing the best possible setup involving quantum states and measurements that can lead us to the maximum possible precision when trying to estimate some unknown physical quantity. Additionally, I would also like to extend my research lines to the field of quantum thermodynamics.
Before moving to Vienna, I completed a Bachelor’s degree in Physics at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (2020-2024) and a Master in Quantum Science and Technology at the University of Barcelona (2024-2025). In the latter, I dedicated my thesis to the study of the fundamental limits of quantum metrology at equilibrium, as well as their connection to the usual dynamical metrological setup. During this project, I was supervised by Prof. John Calsamiglia and Dr. Martí Perarnau-Llobet, both members of the Quantum Information Group (GIQ) at UAB. During this Master program, I was also involved in a research project on self-testing and indefinite causal order, which was supervised by Dr. Hippolyte Dourdent, postdoctoral researcher from Prof. Antonio Acín’s group at ICFO.
If you have any questions or want to discuss some topics related to my research interests, please feel free to contact me!
