Martin's virtual lair

I am a fourth year PhD student in Quantum Information science at the Universities of Oxford and Leeds, UK. My first supervisor is Vlatko Vedral, a Professor at the University of Oxford and Visiting Professor at the National University of Singapore. My second supervisor, Jacob Dunningham, is a Reader at the University of Leeds. My research focuses on symmetric quantum states and the entanglement classes of symmetric states.
