Physicists at Oxford have discovered a new electronic phase of quantum matter relating to a quantum Griffiths phase where the typical quantum mechanical correspondence between time and space breaks down.

A team from Oxford’s Department of Physics, in collaboration with Institute of Molecular Science (ICMol) at the University of Valencia, has demonstrated electrical control of quantum spins in molecular nanomagnets.

The Department of Physics is delighted to confirm the appointment of Professor Shivaji Sondhi to the University’s Wykeham Professorship of Physics, a Leverhulme International Professorship, and the Tencent Chair of Theoretical Physics.

Professor JC Séamus Davis has discovered that an elusive state of quantum matter is in fact a ubiquitous and important property of nature – not a unique phenomenon in the cuprates
