The aim is to build and commission a new lab for 3rd year physics that measures the electron spin. One of the original experiments was performed by A. Einstein and W.J de Haas in 1915.  (The same year Einstein was busy publishing General Relativity!)

Turbulence is one of the most important unsolved problems in modern physics, underpinning universal phenomena from galactic formation to heat and pollutant transport in our atmosphere and oceans. This project seeks to theoretically investigate turbulence in superfluids, and introduce methods of controlling the system dynamics using quantum feedback control.

Atomic sensors are exquisitely sensitive. We aim to model and build a new generation of atomic sensors to measure magnetic fields, rotation and dark matter. 

Develop new methods to determine the ultimate precision of quantum-detector calibration using detector quantum Fisher information. Projects may explore continuous-variable probes, multi-parameter incompatibility, or error-correction strategies for preserving Heisenberg scaling in realistic noisy measurements.

This project explores how the quantum properties of light can be used to develop new approaches to secure optical communication. Students will investigate squeezed light, optical measurements and information encoding, and explore how quantum correlations can enable communication capabilities beyond conventional optical systems.

Atoms trapped with electromagnetic fields make excellent building blocks for quantum technologies. This theoretical physics project aims to develop techniques for implementing high-speed logical operations on next-generation trapped-ion quantum computers.

This theoretical physics project aims to study an untested prediction of quantum field theory: the scattering of light by light in empty space. Quantum sensors could be used to detect this effect and shed new light on some of the biggest open problems in theoretical physics, including quantum gravity.

Optical cavities are widely used in physics and precision measurement.  This project will explore the use of modern machine learning methods for the control of suspended optical cavities.

This project explores how quantum communication could enable secure and anonymous voting between multiple participants. Students will investigate how quantum states of light, communication networks and information processing can be combined to protect both voting information and voter privacy.
