Resources

The development of quantum theory in the early 20th Century brought about a revolution in our understanding of the universe. The theory defies intuition: it says that particles can be in more than one place at once, that the actions of separate particles can be strangely coordinated, and that measurements have inbuilt uncertainty, no matter how accurate our tools.

CQT scientists explore this bizarre quantum world and attempt to turn its quirks to our advantage. By harnessing the quantum behaviour of photons and atoms, the particles of light and matter, we are building a new generation of technologies for communication, computation and sensing.

Delve into quantum physics with these books by CQT’s scientists and collaborators.
