Welcome to the Manchester Noisy Quantum
Systems Group (MaNQS)
We work on the theory of open
quantum systems, with an emphasis on developing new methods applicable beyond
standard approximations. Applications
range from thermodynamics to solid-state quantum devices and molecular systems.

Fellowships: We are also interested to hear from strong
candidates who are keen to apply to fellowship schemes, such as the UKRI
Future Leaders Fellowships, EPSRC Fellowships, Royal
Society URFs, the Royal
Commission 1851 Fellowship, Marie
Curie Fellowships, and Newton International
Fellowships.
