Welcome to the Exeter Open Quantum Systems site!
The Open Quantum Systems group is led by Luis A. Correa at the Department of Physics of the University of Exeter.
We study the rich physics of quantum systems that interact with their surroundings. We then use this knowledge to blueprint better quantum sensors that can beat current precision standards, and to design novel thermodynamic cycles capable of efficient cooling deep in the quantum regime. Learn more about our research on noisy quantum sensing, quantum thermometry, and quantum thermodynamics here.
We are based on the breathtaking coast of the South West of England—the "California" of the UK!
Are you a student looking for an exciting PhD?
We are hiring. Applications will soon open for EPSRC-funded PhD studentships at Exeter and we are putting forward various cool projects!
Drop us a line to learn more.

Are you looking for a dynamic and "open" group?
We are happy to support applications from strong candidates to join us.
