Centre for the Mathematics and Theoretical Physics of Quantum Non-Equilibrium Systems (CQNE)

The CQNE at The University of Nottingham is a focal point for fundamental and theoretical research in the dynamics and control of complex quantum systems.

The aim of the Centre is to provide a framework for common activities such as seminars, workshops, international conferences, and specialised postgraduate training.

The Centre is open to academic members of the University conducting research in related areas.

The Centre is a joint effort between the Schools of Physics & Astronomy and Mathematical Sciences that combines our expertise in the theoretical physics and mathematics of far-from-equilibrium quantum systems, with applications in quantum information, quantum metrology, condensed matter and hybrid systems.

PhD opportunities

We regularly offer PhD projects jointly supervised by members of the Centre. For enquires please email us.

Events

Granada Summer School - Quantum matter: out of equilibrium

Date: 27 - 31/08/2017
Description: This School will feature tutorial style lectures introducing themes of broad interest in the areas of dynamics of open quantum systems, glassy systems and relaxation of closed quantum systems from a theory and experimental perspective providing a basis for new members of the community, deepening the knowledge of more experienced ones and giving a flavour of current trends in the field.
