Undergraduate graduation projects

  1. Mariana Pérez Muralles1 (ECFM-USAC) March 2025 – present
    Parrondo’s paradox in discrete-time quantum walks
    Investigation of the emergence of a genuine Parrondo’s paradox in 1D discrete-time quantum walks using homogeneous coin operators.

    This project includes the co-organization of a week-long hands-on introductory course on Wolfram Mathematica (course website).

  2. Amado Cabrera Estrada1 (ECFM-USAC) March 2025 – present
    Imperfect measurements in discrete-time quantum walks
    Analysis of the effects of imperfect measurement apparatus, within the quantum channel-based framework of fuzzy measurements, on 1D discrete-time quantum walks.

    This project includes the co-organization of a week-long hands-on introductory course on Wolfram Mathematica (course website).
