I currently hold a Royal Society University Research Fellowship and am a member of the Controlled Quantum Dynamics Group within the Quantum Optics and Laser Science Group at Imperial. I also lecture in the EPSRC Doctoral Training Centre in Controlled Quantum Dynamics.
My research interests are primarily in figuring out how to build scalable and robust quantum computers, and related technologies. This work is primarily theoretical, but I actively interact with experimental groups where possible. I also have an interest in simulating many-body quantum systems on classical computers, using techniques and insights derived from quantum information theory. My interests include the following areas:
- Quantum error correction and fault tolerant quantum computation
- Physically robust implementations of qubits and quantum computers
- Topological quantum computation
- Measurement based quantum computation
- Quantum optics and light-matter interactions
- Quantum effects in superconducting circuits
- Quantum dots and mesoscopic conductors
- Developing algorithms for simulating quantum systems on classical computers

Prospective students: Creative, motivated, and mathematically competent people, with an interest in quantum information or related areas, are encouraged to apply via the EPSRC Doctoral Training Centre in Controlled Quantum Dynamics. I am happy to discuss our research further with prospective applicants.
