Hi I'm Ben, a PhD student in Quantum Information Theory at the University of Bristol, finishing up around April 2024. I also consult for the Quantum Computing startup Phasecraft.
Please feel free to get in touch!

Interests
Quantum information is an exciting field, bringing together the curious, counter-intuitive properties of quantum mechanics with deep ideas from computer science such as how to quantify information, and what it means to compute efficiently.
In general, I enjoy collaborating on interesting conceptual problems where concrete mathematical statements can be made. Some of my current interests and projects include:
- Incompatibility of Quantum Measurements
- Resources for Quantum Computation
- Variational Quantum Algorithms
The field is now extremely broad, and I am keen to continue expanding my understanding and ability to contribute to new topics. In particular, I am interested in learning more about complexity theory, information theory, and error correction.
Bio
I grew up in Rotherham, in the north of England. I did a Maths undergrad in Durham, UK, with a year abroad in Switzerland taking courses taught in French. I then worked in a Computer Science department for 9 months before interning at a quantum startup in Singapore. Following this, I began my PhD studies in Bristol, during which I spent several months visiting the University of Geneva, as well as interning at Phasecraft. Outside of work I love to play sports and create music :)
