Teaching and Students
- If you're interested in a PhD position in my group, I currently have a studentship which can potentially be associated with the "It from Qubit" network in quantum gravity and quantum information. I also take on students in quantum information theory, thermodynamics or foundations of quantum mechanics. Details can be found here.
