Daniel Samoylov, Master student from Frankfurt am Main, joined our theory group for an internship in June 2026. In his research project, he investigated quantum simulation of lattice gauge theories.
We wish you all the best for your future, Daniel!

Goodbye to Damiano, Manex and Remy
We say goodbye to our excellent master students Damiano Alessandoni (Roma Tre University), Manex Ugarte-Egana (Mondragon University) and Remy Seurat (ENS Paris) who were working in the theory team, the DyPQ team and the ErDy lab. We wish you all the best for your future!
Welcome to Daniel!
Daniel Samoylov is a Master student from Frankfurt am Main. He completed his Bachelor at Goethe-University in Frankfurt in the group of Prof. Walter Hofstetter, where he investigated topological phases. For his Master’s thesis project he stayed in the same group and focused on the investigation of ultracold fermionic quantum gases with cavity mediated long-range interactions using Dynamical Mean-Field Theory.
In June 2026, he joined our theory group for an additional research project where he will investigate quantum simulation of lattice gauge theories.
A warm welcome to our group, Daniel!
Goodbye to Héctor!
We say goodbye to Héctor Briongos, PhD student at the University of Barcelona, who was visiting our theory team since September. Héctor, we wish you all the best for the future and see you around!
Welcome to quantA Fellow Silvia!
We warmly welcome Silvia Trabucco as a PostDoc in our theory team! Silvia completed her PhD at the Gran Sasso Science Institute in the group of Massimo Mannarelli. During her PhD, together with our former group members Elena Poli and Thomas Bland, she contributed to the development of the first analog model of a neutron star using dipolar atoms in the supersolid phase.
Furthermore, Silvia was awarded with the two-year QuantA Fellowship 2025 – Empowering Women in Quantum Science, with her application titled “Unfolding neutron stars with supersolids”. Congratulations for this achievement and welcome to our group!
Welcome to Damiano!
We welcome Damiano Alessandroni to our group! Damiano completed his Bachelor’s Degree in Physics in 2023 at Roma Tre University, and he is currently enrolled at the same university for his Master’s Degree in Theoretical Physics. During the TIQIT 2024 event, he was introduced to the research field of ultracold atoms. Now, he started working in our theory team for his master’s thesis.
