David Fernández Fernández researches electron and hole spin systems in semiconductor quantum dots, with special interest in their use as systems for digital quantum computing and as quantum simulators. Using analytical and numerical tools, he develops protocols to implement different one- and two-qubit gates in such systems, producing pulses that are robust to different noise sources such as charge noise, stochastic errors produced by external sources, or spin coupling to the environment. In addition, he also develops techniques for long distance quantum information transfer in quantum dot chains.
David studied his Physics BSc at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid between 2015 and 2019. Later, he received a MSc in Theoretical Physics in the field of Elementary Particles and Cosmology during the academic year 2019/2020 at the Institute of Theoretical Physics (IFT - CSIC/UAM). After completing his studies, he began his career as a researcher through a JAE Intro grant (CSIC) under the tutelage of Alejandro González Tudela (IFF - CSIC) in the study of quantum metamaterials. He is currently pursuing his PhD studies under the direction of Gloria Platero Coello (ICMM - CSIC) with an FPU contract.
