The Northern Quantum Meetings are local one-day meeting for the Quantum community of the N8 Research Partnership Universities. After the previous meetings held in Manchester, Lancaster and Durham, on January 18 the Theoretical Physics Group at Leeds has hosted the fourth meeting in this series. The meeting featured a broad range of presentations...

Merry Christmas! Theory Group Christmas party, 14 December 2018

Congratulations to Dr. Sarah Harris for becoming Associate Professor! Find out about Sarah’s research, teaching and group here: https://theory.leeds.ac.uk/computational-biophysics-group/

We are pleased to have David Jennings with us as a new member of the group. David’s research spans a variety of topics in quantum physics, largely from the perspective of quantum information theory. He has been working on structural aspects of quantum theory, quantum algorithms and computation, quantum thermodynamics and...
