University of Colorado Boulder
I am an assistant professor of physics at the University of Colorado Boulder. My group's work spans multiple disciplines of theoretical and mathematical physics, including condensed matter, hydrodynamics, high energy physics, atomic physics and quantum information.
I am slowly in the process of moving this site to alucasphys.com; this one will no longer be updated as of October 2021.
We proved that the speed of quantum information spreading is finite in one-dimensional quantum systems with power-law interactions (of sufficiently large exponent), closing a longstanding conjecture in mathematical physics.
