Bernal
Jose-Daniel Bernal
He graduated with honors from Universidad Nacional de Colombia in 2024, working on using quantum sensors for probing physics beyond the standard model.
Broadly, his interests are in understanding many-body quantum systems, their different phases and entanglement dynamics, and using this to comprehend and engineer quantum simulators and computers. His current research focuses on the dynamics of large spin atoms in optical lattices, addressing the complexity coming from strong dipolar interactions comparable to the contact interactions between the atoms.
Outside of physics, he plays music, enjoys exercising, and the outdoors.

The Physics Frontiers Centers (PFC) program supports university-based centers and institutes where the collective efforts of a larger group of individuals can enable transformational advances in the most promising research areas. The program is designed to foster major breakthroughs at the intellectual frontiers of physics by providing needed resources such as combinations of talents, skills, disciplines, and/or specialized infrastructure, not usually available to individual investigators or small groups, in an environment in which the collective efforts of the larger group can be shown to be seminal to promoting significant progress in the science and the education of students. PFCs also include creative, substantive activities aimed at enhancing education, broadening participation of traditionally underrepresented groups, and outreach to the scientific community and general public.
