Roberta Zambrini

Dr. Roberta Zambrini is a CSIC Senior Scientist and Deputy Director at the Institute of Interdisciplinary Physics and Complex Systems (IFISC), a joint institute between the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB). She holds a prominent position in quantum physics research with significant contributions to complex quantum systems.

Her research spans Complex and Open Quantum Systems, Quantum Networks, Quantum Synchronization, and more recently Quantum Machine Learning. Dr. Zambrini has pioneered work in quantum reservoir computing and quantum associative memories, bridging theoretical quantum physics with practical information processing applications.

Dr. Zambrini has led numerous significant research projects including QuaResC (Quantum machine learning using reservoir computing), QUAREC, and QuProCS (an EU Horizon 2020 project). Her publication record shows consistent high-impact contributions in quantum information science, with recent work focusing on quantum machine learning implementations and theoretical frameworks.

Her scientific recognition includes:

• Guarantor of the 'Unit of Excellence Maria de Maeztu' Award (2018-2022)
• Coordinator of CSIC's White Paper on Digital and Complex Information
• Divisional Associate Editor of Physical Review Letters since 2020

As an educator, she teaches in the Master in Physics of Complex Systems program, specializing in quantum aspects of complex systems. She actively mentors doctoral students in the Physics doctoral program and has organized numerous international workshops on quantum complex systems, demonstrating strong leadership in her field.
