Quantum metrology and sensing

Professor Jacob Dunningham

My research is focused on the study of quantum correlations and how they can be used in new technologies. I am particularly interested in quantum metrology and sensing schemes that have capabilities beyond anything possible with classical methods. Recent work of mine has included:

  • Understanding the advantages of networks of quantum sensors [1]
  • Developing a Bayesian approach to metrology when data is limited [2]
  • Investigating quantum-enhanced multiparameter estimation schemes [3,4]
  • Using Renyi entropy as a tool in analysing quantum systems [5]

 I am also interested in fundamental quantum issues such as:

  • Nonlocality [6]
  • Entanglement in relativistic systems [7]
  • The quantum-classical divide [8,9]
