Welcome to the webpage of the MEPS group led by Dario Bercioux.
Our research is deeply embedded in studying 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, leading to potential advancements in technology and material science. One of our key areas of interest is the physics of graphene and low-dimensional systems 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 significant focus of the MEPS group is on analog quantum simulations with 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 using the unique properties of electrons and photons, we can simulate various 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, located in the northern part of Spain.
Our research is not supported by any Military Agency
News and events
 | Regietratations for the 2025 Capri Spring School are now open. The school will focus on “Novel aspects of superconducting devices.” You can find information about the school at the school website. |
 | New article on the arXiv today. Great collaborations with colleagues in Seville and Bariloche: we have investigated spin dynamics and interferometric effects due to Rashba spin-orbit coupling on a surface with constant positive curvature, a spherical two-dimensional electron gas. You can read it HERE. |
| New article on the arXiv today. Together with a DIPC collegue, we have investigates analytically the spectral properties of the Hatano-Nelson model with an impurity. We have found that the non-Hermitian skin effect at the impurity site can completely balance out the one at the boundary. You can read it HERE. |
| We have a new paper on the arXiv in collaboration with the experimental group of Ingmar Swart at Utrecht University. We characterized the non-trivial phases of 1D artificial chains by extracting the position of the Wannier centers experimentally. |
| Our recent review on “Synthetic quantum matter in non-standard geometries” is finally on the arXiv. It was a great collaboration with several brilliant scientists! |
| We have a new manuscript in the arXiv (11.03.2024), on a proposal for implementing dice lattice in the electron quantum simulator with CO molecules on Cu(111). The manuscript has been accepted for publication in Advanced Physics Research. KUDOS to the team! |
