6 -We are building the first quantum simulator based on ultracold atoms in Galicia. The platform will use ultracold dysprosium gases to perform quantum simulation of strongly correlated matter. Achieving this goal requires precise control of magnetic fields for laser cooling, trapping, and manipulation of atomic interactions.
7 -This project focuses on the development of magnetic field setup and PID-based current stabilization electronics for this new experimental platform.

9 -The student will be involved in:
10 -
11 -* Designing and characterizing PID feedback systems for precise current and magnetic field control.
12 -* Constructing and testing magnetic field coils and associated electronics for laser cooling and trapping of dysprosium atoms.
13 -* Measuring magnetic field stability, homogeneity, and overall system performance.
14 -* Participating in scientific discussions within an international research team.
15 -
16 -This work will contribute directly to the construction of Galicia’s first cold-atom quantum simulator and provide hands-on experience in experimental quantum technologies, atomic physics, and advanced instrumentation.
6 +With the acquisition of new data at a faster pace than ever, maintaining and verifying its quality is of paramount importance for greater precision measurements and improved searches for physics beyond the Standard Model at LHCb. In this project, the student will give the very first look at the newly-acquired 2026 data, i.e. only a few months old, through the study of the decay B→KS J/ψ. This high-statistics channel allows for a very clear study of, on the one hand, reconstruction effects, providing results of great impact for the whole collaboration, and on the other hand, detailed aspects of signal selection tools such as ML algorithms and particle identification, directly contributing to a world-leading search for New Physics. In both aspects, the student will have the opportunity to develop their knowledge of standard Particle Physics techniques, as well as develop their own tools and measurables for data and simulation quality evaluations.
