Our scientists
More than 100 researchers work at CQT. We have theorists who spend much of their time thinking and writing. Theorists' main tools, in addition to their brains, are their computers and whiteboards. We also have scientists who design, build and operate hugely complicated experiments to study the inner workings of the quantum world. They occupy labs packed with lasers, lenses and cabling.
When our researchers are not in their offices or laboratories, you may find them in CQT's Quantum Café, sharing ideas over espressos.
Researchers at CQT come from all over the world. At last count, we had representatives from around 30 nations.
You can meet some of our researchers and hear them talk about quantum mechanics in a short science documentary called "The Mechanics", by the journalist and film-maker Karol Jalochoswki who visited CQT in 2011. For people in a hurry, Karol has also made a 30-second trailer and a 9-minute version.
CQT's scientific researchers are supported by administrative and technical staff who handle tasks from arranging conferences to buying and building pieces of lab equipment.
