Theory

Laboratory of Quantum Information Processing and Cryptography was founded in Autumn of 2004. Research in Laboratory is aimed especially on information aspects of quantum information processing, in particular quantum cryptography, information theory, quantum communication and algorithms. Theoretical aspects of classical cryptography, especially problems solvable with security that can be proved with help of information theory, are studied as well.

We perform theoretical research in Quantum information, Quantum optics, Quantum complexity, Many-body theory, Cold atoms and Quantum phase transitions.

The group works on a very broad spectrum of problems, from standard quantum optics, through physics of matter, to quantum information theory, and physics of ultracold atoms.

The quantum part of CNQO consists of Prof Stephen Barnett (FRS), Dr John Jeffers, Dr Daniel Oi and Dr Shashank Virmani. We are part of QUISCO, the quantum information network in Scotland. Recently joining Strathclyde Physics is Stefan Kuhr as the new Professor of Experimental Quantum Information.

Our research center has a pursuing and vigorous research program in the theory of quantum information and quantum computation. We put emphasis on high-quality training of talented undergraduate and graduate students. RCQI ranks among the top research groups in Slovakia and has established collaborations with numerous research and educational institutions across Europe and North America.
