Explore, explain and exploit the quantum world
We aim to understand and control quantum systems, and use this to develop important new applications such as the quantum internet and laser-accelerated particle therapy.
Congratulations
Congratulations to CQD PhD Student, Dr Teerawat Chalermpusitarak, who was awarded his PhD on 15 April 2024 for his work on Open Quantum Systems and Quantum Noise Spectroscopy.
