Ivette Fuentes

Ivette Fuentes (born 7 October, 1972) is a Professor of Mathematical Physics at the University of Nottingham and Professor of Theoretical Quantum Optics at the University of Vienna. Her work considers fundamental quantum mechanics, quantum optics and astrophysics. She is interested in how quantum information theory can make use of relativistic effects.

Early life and education

Fuentes grew up in Mexico. Whilst she was at high school she was interested in dance and considered becoming a professional ballet dancer.[1] Fuentes studied physics at the National Autonomous University of Mexico and graduated in 1997.[2] She worked with Deborah Dultzin on Seyfert galaxies. Whilst at UNAM Fuentes won a competition to spend a summer at Fermilab and she decided that she wanted to continue working in physics. Fuentes earned her doctoral degree at Imperial College London in 2003 under the supervision of Peter Knight and Vlatko Vedral.[3] She moved to the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics as a postdoctoral fellow, where she worked until 2006. In 2004 she was selected as a University of Oxford Junior Research Fellow and joined Mansfield College, Oxford.[4][5] She was appointed an Alexander von Humboldt fellowship to join the Technical University of Berlin.[6]

Research and career

Fuentes is working on new ways to store and use information using quantum systems. She looks to use relativistic quantum mechanics to improve information tasks such as quantum cryptography and quantum teleportation. She demonstrated a quantum thermometer that could measure the temperature of Bose–Einstein condensates.[7] Fuentes was awarded an Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council Career Acceleration Fellowship and joined the University of Nottingham.[8]

In 2015 Fuentes joined the University of Vienna where she is a member of the theoretical quantum optics group.[4][9][10] She was awarded funding from the Foundational Questions Institute to study quantum theory.[11] In 2017 Fuentes co-founded the Penrose Institute, an organisation that looks to test the scientific ideas of Roger Penrose.[12][13] Unlike many other prominent physicists, Fuentes rejected financial support from Jeffrey Epstein, citing ethical reasons.[14]

Fuentes has spoken at New Scientist Live, where she discussed building equipment for quantum teleportation.[15] She has worked with the expressionist artist Benjamin Arizmendi on an art - science project entitled "The Aesthetics of Entanglement".[16]

gollark: I could add the interpreter to <@509849474647064576>.
gollark: `L` - jump backward one instruction.
gollark: Can you post Lyric's Law? It appears to not be on the starboard.
gollark: Looping construct: jump backward one instruction (`L`)Branching construct: pick next instruction or previous instruction (`B`) - next if accumulator > 0, previous if accumulator <= 0.New branching construct: pick next instruction if user types `0` or previous if user types anything else (`N`)Making loop non-infinite: `E`, exits program if accumulator < 0.+1/-1 act on an accumulator initialized at zero (`+`/`-`)A program consists of a sequence of these instructions (first line) and arbitrary data encoded in base64 (second line) which is loaded into linear memory as bytes. These are executed left-to-right until the end is reached; when this occurs the direction of execution will be reversed.Infinite arbitrary data: command (`D`) to set accumulator to value of linear memory at position in accumulator.This language is called "HahaYourLawIsBad".
gollark: Hmm...
