Our group has members in the Schools of Mathematics and Physics. We are interested in all theoretical aspects of quantum information science, including the following areas:
- Fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics
- Mathematical underpinnings of quantum information theory
- Quantum algorithms
- Quantum computation
- Quantum nonlocality
- Applications of quantum information theory to other disciplines (e.g. thermodynamics)
We are part of the Bristol Quantum Information Institute and regularly collaborate on experimental work with our colleagues in the Quantum Engineering Technology Labs.
We have a blog which hosts occasional posts by group members.
