MEET THE TEAM
Dominic O'Brien
Director of QCi3 | Professor of Engineering, University of Oxford
Dominic has two decades of experience in photonic systems integration, including system design, integration process development, and control system development, resulting in world-leading optical wireless system performance. He has worked extensively with international academic and industrial partners, with more than 200 publications in this area and eight patents granted or in progress. He was previously Co-Director for Systems Engineering in the Networked Quantum Information Technologies Hub (NQIT) as well as the Director of the QCS Hub, the two Hubs preceding QCi3.
Andrew Daley
Principle Investigator | Professor of Physics, University of Oxford
Andrew Daley is a Professor of Quantum Physics at the University of Oxford. Originally from New Zealand, he completed his PhD at the University of Innsbruck in Austria, and was an Assistant Professor at the University of Pittsburgh before taking up a position as Professor of Theoretical Quantum Optics at the University of Strathclyde in 2013. His research bridges fundamental research in quantum optics and many-body physics to the design and applications of quantum technologies. As well as PI of the new QCi3 Hub, he is PI of the EPSRC Programme Grant in Quantum Advantage in Quantitative Quantum Simulation. An important part of his research team's work focusses on developing new implementations of quantum computing and quantum simulation, and their applications both in fundamental physics (many-body dynamics and open quantum systems), and more widely across science, engineering, and industry.
Chris Noble
Co-Director for Engagement
Chris is a Chartered Engineer, with a background in advanced manufacturing and emerging technologies. He has years of experience in both business development and in leading technology adoption, and is a named inventor on several patents. As an ED&I Fellow at the University of Oxford, he is committed to supporting and advancing diversity and inclusion at the Hub.
