Vlatko Vedral

Hello!

I’m Vlatko,

I am the Professor of Quantum Information Science at the University of Oxford.

I spend a lot of my time thinking about what quantum mechanics actually means, and how it affects everything and everyone around us.

Flat Qubiters

Flat Earthers are a small but growing community of people who, as the name suggests, believe that the Earth is flat. They claim, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, that they can account using flat geometry for all the experiments revealing the Earth’s spherical shape.

Observation of the quantum equivalence principle for matter-waves

Einstein’s general theory of relativity is based on the principle of equivalence – in essence, dating back to Galileo – which asserts that, locally, the effect of a gravitational field is equivalent to that of an accelerating reference frame, so that the local gravitational field is eliminated in a freely falling frame.

Geometry from quantum temporal correlations

In this work, we show how Euclidean 3-space uniquely emerges from the structure of quantum temporal correlations associated with sequential measurements of Pauli observables on a single qubit.

Thermodynamic limits of the Mpemba effect: A unified resource theory analysis

The Mpemba effect, a counterintuitive thermodynamic phenomenon in which a hotter system cools more rapidly than a colder one, has been observed in both classical and quantum systems.
