GIPUZKOA QUANTUM 2023 (2023-2024)
“Software para automatizar el diseño teórico sistemático de spin-qubits (ASAP-SQ)”
Qubits are the basic components of devices that manipulate quantum information. Due to the extraordinary properties of quantum mechanics, quantum information devices (such as quantum computers) are expected to perform calculations far beyond what conventional classical computers can achieve. The objective of this project is the implementation and validation of new functionality within ASAP (Atomistic Simulation Advanced Platform) to automate the systematic design of spin-qubits.
The project is a collaboration between Simune and the theory group at CIC nanoGUNE led by Emilio Artacho.
GIPUZKOA QUANTUM 2022 (2022-2023)
“Optimized Surface-Enhanced Infrared Absorption (SEIRA) sensors through simulations governed by quantum methodology. Application to monitoring conformational changes in proteins (QUANTUM SEIRA)”
The QUANTUM SEIRA project aims to advance towards a new generation of infrared absorption sensors by using Surface-Enhanced Infrared Absorption (SEIRA) spectroscopy supported by quantum simulation studies. These studies enable obtaining the vibrational spectrum of molecules in their real environment (hydrated molecules surrounded by clusters of metal atoms, for example). These simulations and the acquisition of the corresponding vibrational spectrum are essential for tuning them with the electromagnetic response of the antennas, thus achieving a remarkable increase in the absorption cross-section of vibration compared to the incident radiation.
The partners involved in the project are Atten2 Advanced Monitoring Technologies, Tekniker and Simune
GIPUZKOA QUANTUM 2022 (2022-2023)
“Tiempos Cuánticos (Kuantu Aldiak)”
The objective of the project is to define a reference framework for quantum computing applications of interest to SIMUNE and CIC-NanoGUNE, through a set of relevant use cases and a strategic agenda for future efforts. Within the project framework, we determine which quantum development platforms can be used in relation to the selected use cases.
The project is a collaboration between Simune and the theory group at CIC nanoGUNE led by Emilio Artacho.

Module Photoion: Streamlining the study of molecular photoionization processes in time domain (2020 – 2021)
Project Acronym: Photoion
Materials modelling and simulation are becoming an integral part of product life cycle management in industry. The complexity associated with both open-source and commercial software often hampers its use in industry. The joint efforts of SIMUNE and Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM) are devoted to make Xchem package1 ready for industry. Xchem has been proved to provide reliable predictions2 and opens the way to new applications in emerging scientific disciplines, as attochemistry, singlemolecule imaging, coherent attosecond control of chemical reactions, etc.3

Project Acronym: AttoChem
Full project Title: Attosecond Chemistry
The AttoChem network will coordinate experimental and theoretical efforts to exploit the large potential of attosecond techniques in chemistry, with the aim of designing new strategies for the control of charge migration in molecules by directly acting on the attosecond time scale. This ability will be used to selectively break and form chemical bonds, thus opening new avenues for the control of chemical reactions. The results of the Action are expected to have a significant impact in several areas of chemistry, such as photovoltaics, radiation damage, catalysis, photochemistry, or structural determination.
