Position: Coordinators of the project

Marta Gil studies Physics and Mathematics at the UAB and is currently carrying out the bachelor’s Thesis in the Quantum Information Group at UAB. She has participated in the Youth and Science Program from La Fundació Catalunya La Pedrera, staying in research centers such as the Perimeter Institute in Canada and the Genomic Regulation Center in Barcelona.

Ivan is a PhD student in Quantum Information Theory group in ICFO. Originally, he is from Montenegro. He got his Physics degree from University of Belgrade and obtained his master’s degree from Polytechnic University of Catalunya. His research interests involve foundations of quantum theory, Bell nonlocality and quantum computing. In his native country he organized several science camps for high-school students.Ivan is a PhD student in Quantum Information Theory group in ICFO. Originally, he is from Montenegro.

Xavier is physics master student at the Claude Bernard University, Lyon. He is currently working on his master thesis in Quantum Information Theory at ICFO in Dr. Antonio Acín’s group. He discovered this field last year while doing an internship in Nicolas Brunner’s group at the University of Geneva. His main interests are on non-locality, many body systems and machine learning. 

Zahra is a physicist. Her professional path started a long time ago, when she started to learn about the physics of elementary particles (high energy physics). After that, she got involved to work on a project about black holes, holographic screens and gravity. Currently, she am a PhD student in quantum information theory group at ICFO.

Martí Berenguer studies Physics at the UAB. He is currently carrying out the bachelor’s Thesis in the High Energy Physics Institute (IFAE) at UAB, and next course he will be taking the Master in Astrophysics, Particle Physics and Cosmology at Universitat de Barcelona.
