Research

I am a theorist and my research is into the quantum mechanical interaction of light and matter. Under this general theme my work can be divided into three fields:

  • Theoretical Quantum Optics:
Includes decoherence, cavity QED, adiabatic processes, and QIP (quantum information processing).
  • Matter waves and Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC):
Currently with special interest on how to manipulate cold matter with rf radiation.
  • Theory of molecular control, femtosecond processes, and wave packet dynamics:
Using light to control molecular processes.

 

 A list of recent publications can be found on my publications page.  

 

Open positions:  A 3/5 year post-doc position is available in the theory of cold atom trapping and QIP. (Closing date January 31.) For further details and application procedure please see the University vacancies page.

An ascociated and funded DPhil(PhD) studentship is also available. Applications should use the on-line system on the University web pages and should mention that funding is required from the EPSRC project on Devices based on Entanglement in Cold Arrays of Trapped Atoms.
