We are a theoretical physics group working on topics in quantum thermodynamics, open quantum systems, and quantum information theory.

Our research focus is the interplay of quantum and thermal fluctuations in quantum systems, and the extension of thermodynamics to the quantum regime. Quantum thermodynamics research underpins technological developments that miniaturise to the nanoscale with applications expected for nano- and quantum machines, data storage, quantum computation and communication, and diagnostic healthcare devices.

Field of Research: Nanoscale Devices

In our group we study work extraction and work storage processes that take place at the nano and quantum scale.

Field of Research: Quantum Thermodynamics

In our group, we consider systems in the regime of strong coupling, where the Boltzmannian notion of thermality falls apart.
