David Lucas
Associate Director, NQIT, University of Oxford
David Lucas leads NQIT’s work on ion trap node engineering and is the NQIT Associate Director for Hardware. Alongside Professor Andrew Steane, he co-leads the Oxford ion trap quantum computing research group that has realised a full set of one- and two-qubit operations with world-leading performance far surpassing fault-tolerance thresholds. He has a wide range of expertise in experimental quantum physics, including precision measurements, cold atoms and trapped ions.
