Congrats to Alex Newman on his great PhD and passing his viva!

We took our annual group photo

Wow impressive :)

Alex Newman built a diamond magnetometer we'd like to use for cancer surgery. The sensor head is 10 mm across: small enough for keyhole surgery and endoscopy. He could detect the magnetic tracer fluid used in breast cancer surgery. The Independent covered it: www.the-independent.com/news/health/...

Congrats to Alex Newman for winning the best talk prize at the Warwick Diamond Conference! He talked about his great work building an endoscopic probe based on diamond for finding cancer: arxiv.org/abs/2504.05884

Great postdoc job opportunity to work with Mark Newton, Ben Green and Julie Macpherson warwick-careers.tal.net/vx/lang-en-G...

The Warwick Quantum Launch Event yesterday was awesome thanks to the interesting and dynamic speakers and attendees! Quantum technology is in great shape. We appreciate support from the University of Warwick Digital Spotlight and the EPSRC network M4QN. warwick.ac.uk/WarwickQuantum

The Warwick Quantum Launch Event is tomorrow! The speakers are very exciting and there will be sun for the BBQ! warwick.ac.uk/WarwickQuant...

Fun and interesting day today demonstrating our diamond magnetometer at the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition

There’s still time to register for the launch event for Warwick Quantum at the University of Warwick on Friday 11th July. Come for the talks, stay for the BBQ! Non-Warwick folk are just as welcome as Warwick folk 💡 🧪 warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/rese...

We're excited to announce the Launch Event for Warwick Quantum on Friday 11th July in Warwick! WQ is a new interdisciplinary research initiative bringing together the quantum technology teams in the University of Warwick. Sign up here for amazing speakers and BBQ: warwick.ac.uk/WarwickQuant... 🧪💡

We got a kitten! :)

My brother Jake Morley is doing a gig in London Saturday 21 Feb 2026… it’ll be great! jakemorley.com/many-fish-to...

We’ve built an endoscopic diamond magnetometer! With some development, this could help find secondary tumours in breast cancer surgery, as well as helping with laparoscopic and endoscopic operations. Our probe is only 10 mm in diameter: an endoscopic probe has to be 12 mm or less

Postdoc job ads to work with me on biomedical applications of quantum sensors: nitrogen vacancy centres in nanodiamond… please share! One job is for 2 years and the other is for 1 year. This is part of the new UK Quantum Tech Hub called Q-BIOMED

We’re excited to be one of these new projects funded by UKAEA, developing our diamond magnetometers for fusion diagnostics ccfe.ukaea.uk/creating-sen...

Great to have Angelo Bassi visiting from Italy!

I’m at a superb conference on quantum diamonds in Hungary. Each speaker has 75 minutes but they get lots of questions and discussion throughout so it’s nothing like a lecture conferences.weizmann.ac.il/QDiamond25/

Our new paper is out: “On the Road with a Diamond Magnetometer”… I drove the van while Stuart Graham measured the magnetic field using a diamond! This could be useful for navigation using a magnetic map. The paper is free to download for 50 days authors.elsevier.com/c/1kTj53IYYk...

The best Lego set ever: the solar system. My youngest built it but it would look good at a university open day for an Astro degree

Great snowboarding the last week

I’m in Okinawa, Japan, for the exciting Schrödinger Cat workshop organised by Jason Twamley at OIST. We had a nice swim in the sea too groups.oist.jp/qmech/program

A Chladni plate is better with Lego continuing my quest to make all experiments better with Lego

We got the first snow of the year today which reminded me to post these group photos taken a few weeks back

We had a great day today at the UK Quantum Tech Showcase in London demonstrating our diamond magnetometer 💎

We saw the northern lights in Watford tonight

Join us! There is a fully-funded PhD studentship in my group working on our levitated microdiamond experiment towards (eventually) a test of the quantum nature of gravity. I will also soon be advertising a 3-year postdoc job on this project. warwick.ac.uk/gavinmorley/...

It was great to have Jason Smith visiting last week to talk about our work towards a diamond quantum computer as part of the UK Quantum Technology Hubs NQIT and QCS, via UKRI and EPSRC 🧪💡 #quantum

New paper: we measure the longest electron spin coherence and relaxation times for NV centres in nanodiamond. Ollie Williams’ group milled 12C diamond from Element Six…Congrats to James March on his first paper! doi.org/10.1103/Phys...

Hello Bluesky! My research group builds #quantum technology with nitrogen-vacancy centres in diamond, towards useful quantum computing, communication and sensing. We also magnetically levitate microdiamonds towards a test of the quantum nature of gravity
