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!

 

Group Hike and Törggelen

 

Our group went on a trip to South Tyrol to go hiking at the astonishing Barbian Waterfalls. For dinner, we visited a Buschenschank, where we enjoyed the Tyrolean tradition of Törggelen — a sociable, extended meal featuring traditional regional dishes such as chestnuts roasted over a wood fire, as well as locally produced sausages and wine.

Welcome to Manex!

We welcome Manex Ugarte-Egana from Mondragon University (Basque Country), who will join our group for his Bachelor thesis until July 2026! Manex studies physics and engineering and he will work on a ARTIQ-based control sytem for our new labs.
