Our research projects are centered on Quantum Information and the Magnetic Resonance technique. We are interested in new experimental methods that can be used to demonstrate new quantum mechanical phenomena, improve magnetic resonance sensitivity and implement quantum computing. We develop the following research lines of investigation:

• Dynamical decoupling methods for preserving qubits coherence;

• Design and construction of microresonators for magnetic resonance experiments ;

• Implementation of quantum computing protocols using the NMR technique and cloud-based quantum computers;

• Study of new quantum phenomena related to classical and quantum correlations and quantum thermodynamics;

• Optically detected magnetic resonance with NV-Centers.
