Our results demonstrating a correlated pair-source to perform target detection and range-finding to show the resilience of quantum-enhanced lidar to classical jamming have been published in Optics Express.
New Chancellor’s Fellow
Congratulations on Dr Stuart Ingleby becoming the groups newest Chancellors Fellow. Stuart will continue to advance the development of atomic magnetometry, see here for details.
Congratulations to Dr James McGilligan on receiving a prestigious Royal Society of Engineering Fellowship to develop technology for quantum navigation. There is a detailed Strathclyde news article available here.
Congratulations to Prof. Erling Riis, Dr. Paul Griffin and Dr. Jonathan Pritchard who are leading work on DISCOVERY, a £10m IUK programme to establish commercial supply chains for quantum computing in collaboration with UK industry.
