Other quantum people at Sheffield
My group is part of Sheffield’s Quantum Center and the LDSD group. Within LDSD there several other theorists and we informally call ourselves the quantum theory group. Below is a photo of a “Quantum theory walk” (May 2019, near Castleton in the Peak district):
I also work part-time for River Lane research, a Cambridge based quantum computing company:
About me
![]() |
I’m a theoretical physicist based at the University of Sheffield and a senior research scientist at River Lane research. My research is on quantum computation and trying to design the simplest possible device for experimentalists to then build. Here is my CV.
EPSRC awarded me an early career fellowship for my research project Towards fault-tolerant quantum computing with minimal resources. I am also the coordinator for the European QCDA network and you can folow this link to learn more about QCDA. |
