'We’ve built the quantum equivalent of that wind tunnel.' Oxford University physicists are simulating the strange, probabilistic world of quantum mechanics, opening the door to new innovations for superconductors, materials science, and quantum technologies. Read more ⬇️

We are hiring! I have an open postdoc position in my research group. More details here: bit.ly/PDRAQuantumMixtures

Oxford University scientists have published research on how they have achieved new levels of quantum computing accuracy, of one error in 6.7 million operations, by using a calcium ion qubit. www.ox.ac.uk/news/2025-06...

On Friday 2nd May we held an event to celebrate 30 years since forming the experimental side of the QLM research section and former head of section @etotheipiequals.bsky.social special birthday. Here current head of section @ifanghughes.bsky.social is seen congratulating him.

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic www.crabmuseum.org/visit 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked, "If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?" Allow our scaled diagram to explain...

Today, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council has awarded Quantum Technology Career Acceleration Fellowships to two Oxford University academics. Congratulations to @oxfordphysics.bsky.social's Dr Jacob Blackmore and @oxengsci.bsky.social's Dr Zhenyu Cai 👏 #WorldQuantumDay

Most people have heard already but I was fortunate enough to win an EPSRC fellowship to bring trapped molecular physics to Oxford! www.ox.ac.uk/news/2025-04...

Come join us at QLM in Durham! We have multiple funded PhD studentships for 2025! Please share with potential applicants.

Had a glorious autumnal walk in Durham this weekend... Aykley Head, Aykley Woods, Hopper's Wood, the ancient path broken by the railway and down across the former Frankland brickworks. All with the napping wee one attached of course.
