Our research groups

cosmic magnetic fields, turbulence, quantum plasmas, fusion energy, quantum gravity

Inertial Fusion

We study laser-driven plasma accelerators and their applications.

Precision flavour physics at the LHC

A next-generation dark matter experiment

Our research concentrates upon the fundamental physics of electronic, magnetic, atomic and space-time quantum matter including the development of instrumentation allowing humans to visualise or perceive quantum phenomena.

Oxford's leading roles in the world's most powerful cm-wave radio telescope

The Mu3e experiment is a new search for the lepton-flavour violating decay of a positive muon into two positrons and one electron.

Our research involves fundamental studies of emergent phenomena in quantum materials using muon-spin rotation, an experimental technique involving implanting radioactive particles that acts as microscopic magnetometers.

Applications of quantum control to building small demonstration quantum computers with nuclear magnetic resonance

Our research currently focusses on applications of sensitive optical diagnostic techniques pioneered in the group for applications in engineering and chemistry.
