RESEARCH INTERESTs

What exotic properties of quantum mechanics give quantum computers their power? How do we scale up 'quantum weirdness' from the size of an atom to the size of a mainframe? Stephen's interests lie in exploiting the latest results from the foundations of quantum mechanics, exotic quantum materials, the mathematics of topology, and even string theory to design the best quantum architectures for tomorrow's supercomputers.

Stephen's research aligns with the Faculty of Science Research Strengths - Fundamental Laws of Nature, Quantum Frontiers.
