Quantum information and computation is a rapidly evolving interdisciplinary field that has attracted researchers from physics, computer science, mathematics, chemistry, and electronic engineering.

Core activities

The quantum dynamics and computation group conducts research in the areas of quantum dynamics, information processing and quantum computation.

Instead of brute-force miniaturisation of basic electronic components, quantum computation utilises entirely new design architecture and promises to solve problems that are intractable on conventional computers.  It offers the prospect of harnessing nature at a much deeper level than ever before, as well as a wealth of new possibilities for communication and data processing.

In addition to using a wide range of numerical tools, the group also has extensive computer algebra expertise, principally with Mathematica, to model the dynamics of quantum systems and investigate quantum algorithms.
