Research

 I am a theoretical physicist interested in different approaches to quantum gravitational phenomena involving modifications of quantum mechanics. I spent the past 5 years as a postdoc at the Brazilian Center for Research in Physics (CBPF) under the supervision of Prof. Nelson Pinto-Neto researching quantum cosmological bouncing models and possible observable signatures of violations of the Born rule. I also started investigating proposed tabletop quantum gravity experiments and how they can be used to study different quantum and gravitational theories. I also contribute as an advisor for High School students as part of a vocational program at CBPF (PROVOC).

Evolution of quantum non-equilibrium for coupled harmonic oscillators

In the context of de Broglie–Bohm pilot-wave theory, violations of the Born rule are allowed and can be considered as describing non-equilibrium distributions. We study the effects of interactions on quantum relaxation towards equilibrium for a system of one-dimensional coupled harmonic oscillators. We show by numerical simulations that interactions can delay or even prevent complete relaxation for some initial states. We also discuss how this effect might be relevant for cosmological scenarios and how non-equilibrium could be detected in some models.
