Gloria Platero is Research Professor at the Materials Science Institute of Madrid (ICMM) and at QuARC (Ad Honorem) , at the CSIC (Spanish Research Council) and member of the Royal Academy of Sciences of Spain.
She started the research group at ICMM: “New Platforms and Nanodevices for Quantum Simulation and Quantum Computation” https://wp.icmm.csic.es/npqsic/ She also belongs to the University Institute Gregorio Millán on Nanoscience and Industrial Mathematics (Carlos III University of Madrid).
She has given over hundred invited, keynote or plenary talks in international conferences and she has been invited to give many seminars and stays in international research centers.
She has been Mercator Fellow at the University of Regensburg.
She has supervised many PhD students, most of them are working successfully in Academia.
She is Fellow or the APS (Quantum Information), Chair of the C8 Commission (Semiconductors) of the IUPAP and Vicepresident of the IUPAP.
Her research belongs to the field of Quantum Nanotechnologies. She investigates the theory of spin qubits in quantum dot arrays, their manipulation and different protocols for the transfer of quantum information in these systems, for quantum computation
purposes. She also investigates hybrid systems: superconducting cavities coupled to qubits, where photons are the flying qubits.
Time periodic driven systems, i.e., Floquet theory and Floquet engineering, is one of her main topics of research.
She investigates as well the role of topological edge states in low dimensional lattices for the transfer of quantum information with high fidelity, in different platforms
