Bernal

He graduated with honors from Universidad Nacional de Colombia in 2024, working on using quantum sensors for probing physics beyond the standard model.

Broadly, his interests are in understanding many-body quantum systems, their different phases and entanglement dynamics, and using this to comprehend and engineer quantum simulators and computers. His current research focuses on the dynamics of large spin atoms in optical lattices, addressing the complexity coming from strong dipolar interactions comparable to the contact interactions between the atoms.

Outside of physics, he does music, enjoys exercising, and the outdoors.
