About IFIMAC

The IFIMAC - Condensed Matter Physics Center is a new María de Maeztu Excellence Research Unit located in the campus of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid pursuing cutting-edge research and scientific excellence. It comprises researchers from several university departments aiming to advance the limits of knowledge in both theoretical and experimental Condensed Matter Physics. Sixty four researchers constitute its permanent staff with up to ninety postdoctoral researchers and Ph.D students.

On 7 June 2024, the United Nations proclaimed 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, https://quantum2025.org/en/. IFIMAC is a major stakeholder in quantum science, having made pioneering developments in quantum photonics, quantum materials and computation. Furthermore, IFIMAC actively participates in the organization of the International Conference of Low Temperature Physics, www.lt30.es, a meeting of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics, held only every three years, which is the main discussion center around quantum technologies from the perspective of solid state devices and quantum condensates.
