Our work includes both experimental and theoretical approaches, with a particular focus on quantum physics and the rapidly developing field of quantum technology. Our four experimental groups and three independent research faculty form the core of the Sussex Centre for Quantum Technologies which was set up by the University to support and promote quantum research as an area of particular excellence at Sussex.
