Quantum Theory Group
The Quantum Theory Group focusses on fundamental research on light matter interactions, quantum information and the foundatiion of quantum mechanics.
We are funded by the EPSRC, the Royal Society and the Volkswagen Stiftung.

Quantum Theory Group
Welcome to the Quantum Theory Group website. The group is part of the School of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Glasgow, part of the International Max Planck Partnership. We are also part of the International Graduate School for Quantum Technologies.
We are theoretical physicists, working in quantum theory, including quantum optics, quantum information, quantum thermodynamics and foundations of quantum mechanics. We also have in interest in chirality and light-matter interactions.
We joined the University of Glasgow in September 2013.
