My research focuses on the microscopic theory
of dilute quantum gases, with particular emphasis on:
- many-body properties of quantum mixtures
- synthetic gauge fields
- topological order
- open quantum systems
- interplay between disorder and interactions in quantum gases
- few-body properties of strongly-interacting systems: scattering in mixed dimensions and Efimov physics

In July 2025 Daniel Pérez Cruz moves from La Laguna (Tenerife) to continue his Ph.D. with us. Welcome Dani!
In April 2025 Vebjørn Øvereng starts his Ph.D. with us. Welcome Vebjørn!
In February 2025 we organized the first CAPS & CQA Winter School on Ultracold Quantum Many-body Systems. Our school took place at the "Centro de Ciencias Pedro Pascual" in Benasque (Spain):
In September 2024 started "IMAGIQ: Investigating Matter And Gases In the Quantum domain"!
(a 3-years national project awarded to our research group)
In September 2023 we organized an International Workshop on Quantum coherent dynamics: turbulence, non-equilibrium and interactions, as a satellite meeting to the BEC Sant Feliu 2023 conference. The meeting took place at the Institut d'Estudis Catalans, in Barcelona:
In April 2023 we organized the Barcelona Cold Atoms Meeting, a joint workshop which every year gathers all groups working on quantum gases in Barcelona:
In November 2022 we have organized the first CAPS School on Ultracold Atoms, as a Satellite meeting to the Cold Atoms Workshop 2022. The School took place at UPC, in Barcelona:
In December 2021 I have been awarded a prestigious ICREA Academia Award! This is a personal grant with a duration of 5 years offered by ICREA (Catalan Institution for Research and Advanced Studies), supporting excellent research done by permanent Professors in the Catalan Universities (by means of a personal prize, a generous research fund and a strong reduction of the teaching load).

In Summer 2021 I have coordinated a 3 months' program at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics in Santa Barbara (California), entitled Interacting Topological Matter: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Systems.
The program contained an associated Conference, entitled Entangled Quantum States of Matter: Classification, Creation, Manipulation, Detection, but the latter got unfortunately cancelled due to the global pandemics.
In September 2019 I organized a Conference titled Dynamics and interactions in quantum gases, as a Satellite meeting to BEC 2019. The Conference took place in Maó, the capital-city of the island of Menorca:
In Summer 2018 I organized a Meeting on Ultracold Quantum Mixtures in Barcelona:
In Spring 2017 I organized a School and Conference in Austria:
