Ana Asenjo Garcia

Ana Asenjo Garcia is a Senior Professor at Columbia University, where her research bridges applied physics, quantum science, and photonics. Her work focuses on quantum engineering, lightwave technology, and condensed matter physics, with particular emphasis on atomic ensembles, polaritons, and photonic entanglement. Recent publications include studies on universal bounds on many-body decay in atomic ensembles (2026), polaron-polaritons in subwavelength atomic arrays (2026), and deterministic generation of photonic entangled states using decoherence-free subspaces (2025). Her research has appeared in leading venues such as *Physical Review Letters*, *Nature Physics*, and *Physical Review Research*, addressing topics like optomechanical self-organization, superradiant decay, and parametric frequency beamsplitters for quantum photonics.
