Gemma De las Cuevas
I am a physicist working mainly at the intersection of mathematical physics and quantum many-body physics. In particular, I have worked on the description of mixed states with tensor networks (see arXiv:1907.03664 or 1903.05373 or 1909.01737 for the most recent works), and on continuum limits of matrix product states (see arXiv:1708.00029 or 1708.00880 or 1908.09761).
I also worked on a notion of universality in spin physics which is somewhat similar to the notion of universality in computer science (see here).
For an introduction to some of these topics, see some of my talks.
In the past, I worked with Prof. Hans Briegel on a proposal for artificial intelligence called Projective Simulation (see here).
