Adolfo del Campo

Adolfo del Campo (born 28 October 1981, Bilbao, Spain) is a Spanish physicist and a professor of physics at the University of Massachusetts. He is best known for his work in quantum control and theoretical physics. He is notable as one of the co-pioneers of shortcuts to adiabaticity.

Del Campo was educated at the University of the Basque Country,The University of Texas at Austin and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He completed his PhD at the University of the Basque Country in 2008. His first postdoctoral research position was at Imperial College London. He was awarded a Distinguished J. Robert Oppenheimer Fellowship at Los Alamos National Laboratory. In 2014, he became associate professor at the University of Massachusetts. He has held visiting positions at a number of universities, including the National Autonomous University of Mexico, the University of Tokyo, Los Alamos National Laboratory and Institut Henri Poincaré.During his career, del Campo has published over 100 peer-reviewed papers.He has contributed to the development of shortcuts to adiabaticity, time in quantum mechanics, quantum speed limits and the Kibble-Zurek mechanism. Del Campo acts as a member of the Editorial Board of Scientific Reports (2011-)
