Cristiano Nisoli is a theoretical physicist in the T-division at LANL, where he has been since 2008. He works on frustrated, artificial magnetic systems, so called artificial spin ices, of which his group has proposed various geometries which are then realized at the magnetic nanoscale or with trapped colloids or with skyrmions in liquid crystals. The idea behind the program is to generate new exotic emergent behaviors from the collective dynamics of binary variables, such as magnetic moments of nanoislands, or in this case qubits.
