Professor David Lucas is an experimental atomic physicist at Oxford whose research focuses on trapped‐ion quantum computing. He leads a group working on precision control, coherence, and error reduction in ion trap qubits, pushing toward fault-tolerant quantum logic. Recently his team set a new global benchmark for single-qubit gate fidelity-achieving an error rate of just 0.000015% (one in 6.7 million) -and has demonstrated distributed quantum computation by linking remote ion processors via photonic interfaces.
David Stuart
MRC Professor of Structural Biology
I use the techniques of X-ray crystallography and X-ray microscopy to study the structural biology of viruses.
Jin-Chong Tan
Professor of Engineering Science
I lead the Multifunctional Materials & Composites (MMC) Lab, where we develop nanoporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)
Robert Taylor
Professor of Condensed Matter Physics
I am interested in the optical properties of materials, particularly in the areas of nanotechnology and quantum computing.
Sarah Thomas
Associate Professor
My research interests are Photonic quantum technologies, Quantum networks, Light-matter interactions, Quantum memories
Alice Thorneywork
Associate Professor of Physical Chemistry and Royal Society University Research Fellow
Our research interests lie in the areas of experimental soft matter and nanoscale systems
Claire Vallance
Professor of Physical Chemistry
We employ novel time-of-flight imaging methods to study photon-induced and electron-induced molecular fragmentation processes and to carry out chemically-resolved imaging of surfaces.
