MEPS group

Welcome to the MEPS group webpage, led by Dario Bercioux. 

Our research focuses on the transport and topological properties of mesoscopic electronic and photonic systems. These properties are crucial for understanding how particles behave in different materials and under various conditions, potentially advancing technology and materials science. One of our key areas of interest is the physics of graphene and low-dimensional system heterostructures. These materials, known for their exceptional properties and potential applications, are at the forefront of condensed matter physics. Our investigations aim to uncover new phenomena and pave the way for innovative applications in electronics and photonics.

A major focus of the MEPS group is analog quantum simulation using electronic and photonic platforms. Quantum simulations allow us to model and understand complex quantum systems that are otherwise challenging to study experimentally or numerically. By leveraging the unique properties of electrons and photons, we can simulate a range of quantum phenomena, providing insights crucial for developing next-generation quantum technologies. 

We are based at the Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC) in the beautiful city of Donostia-San Sebastián, in northern Spain. 

Our research is not supported by any Military Agency

News and events

Artem Yurkon joined our group last September; he will work on the DFT approach to analog quantum simulators in semiconductors.
Congratulations to Minh, who defended his PhD on July 15th!
Carolina’s new manuscript, in collaboration with Nico Leumer, is finally on arXiv!
Minh’s new manuscript, in collaboration with Paco Guinea, was posted on arXiv today. We have investigated the connection between the form factor of the wave function and the quasiparticle interference.
