The Physics Department has nine research groups with access to internationally renowned facilities such as CERN and the Cockcroft Institute, as well as possessing its own facilities such as the Quantum Technology Centre and Isolab.
The ULT facilities feature custom-made dilution refrigerators, built in-house with nuclear cooling stages.
Underpinning these activities is the research of our theoretical and mathematical physicists, who have made major contributions to quantum cryptography.
