Ready to learn all about the institute's activities in 2025 at this year's INMA retreat, and in a most fantastic setting, to boot! @inmadivulga.bsky.social

Yesterday we had the first edition of our ATMOS day, with six interesting presentations by some of the younger members of the group and a nice lunch together. A great way to get to know what everyone is working on and generate synergies.

An exciting collaboration between experiment and theory has resulted in this PRX Energy paper exploring the lattice dynamics and diffusion mechanisms in a garnet-type solid electrolyte, with a view to explaining its remarkably low thermal conductivity. doi.org/10.1103/6wj2...

New collaborative paper in Advanced Functional Materials showing how to achieve dynamic control of the thermal conductivity of BaTiO3 through illumination, harnessing a phase transition by photoinduced charge injection: doi.org/10.1002/adfm...

Juan's (almost) last paper of his PhD has been selected as an Editor's Suggestion in PRB. This work presents the rigorous linear response theory for cavity QED materials.

Juan supervised Víctor's TFG. They collaborated with Sebas and Manu. PRB published their work. Analytical theory and transformer-based quantum Monte Carlo simulations characterize the phases of long-range antiferromagnetic models.

Sebastián's paper "Transformer wave function for quantum long-range models" has been published in PRB. In it we show how a machine-learning architecture based on the vision transformer can efficiently model both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic ground states in those systems.
