About Me

My day job is to grapple with the behaviour of energy and matter at subatomic scales and to try and answer some big questions: Why are we here and what does it all mean?

Who Am I

I completed my undergraduate and graduate studies at Imperial College, London, and since June 2009 I have been in an entangled state of professorship at the University of Oxford.

What I Do

I made my name developing a novel way of quantifying entanglement and applying it to macroscopic physical systems. Besides physics, I enjoy drawing, wakeboarding, and playing my electric guitar with the Marshall amp turned all the way up to 11.

Entropic Forces

This mysteriously sounding concept is widely used in biology. The chief reason being that life, in fact, is a struggle against the Second Law of thermodynamics.

Crazy Quantum (Late-Night) Thoughts

The main obstacle to us making progress in quantum physics is the persistent (and misplaced) belief that quantum physics needs to be fixed.

What is a Q-Field?

I have frequently talked about the interpretation of quantum physics implying that “everything is a quantum wave”. Here I’d like to explain this a bit better and, more importantly, tell you about some problems with this picture of the universe.
