Quantum Foundations and Technologies Group

Our group carries out research primarily to study quantum systems, both theoretically and experimentally, from the formal mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics to its applications in technology.

Welcome from head of group

Welcome to the Quantum Foundations and Technologies Group. Our interests are in all things ‘quantum’.

Our research covers number of topics in quantum physics, both pure and applied, and both theoretical and experimental, ranging from the nature of entanglement and decoherence in open quantum systems to quantum technologies such as optoelectronic devices and quantum computing.
