Quantum Stochastics and Information Group
We are part of the Quantum Information group at the School of Mathematical Sciences, and of the Centre for the Mathematics and Theoretical Physics of Quantum Non-Equilibrium Systems.
At Nottingham we have close collaborations with
Juan Garrahan and Igor Leasnovsky from the School of Physics and Astronomy (large deviations and dynamical phase transition in open systems)
Theodore Kypraios and Ian Dryden (statistical methods for state estimation)
Gerardo Adesso (quantum statistics and quantum information)
External collaborators: Richard Gill (Leiden) John Gough (Aberystwyth), Naoki Yamamoto (Keio University), Cristina Butucea (Paris), Keiji Matsumoto (NII Tokyo), Rafal Demkowicz-Dobrzanski (Warsaw).

Katarzyna Macieszczak
Kasia graduated in 2012 from the University of Warsaw with a dual Maths-Phys degree. She defended her PhD thesis on "Metrology, metastability and dynamical phase transitions in open quantum systems" in 2016, and is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Condensed Matter group at the School of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Nottingham. Her thesis deals with a broad range of topics including computational aspects of quantum Fisher information, quantum metrology for general dephasing models, quantum enhanced metrology and dynamical phase transitions, and metastability in quantum open systems.

Catalin Catana
Catalin was a PhD student between 2011 and 2015 who worked on the topic of "System Identification for Quantum Markov Processes".
He graduated in 2009 from the University of Bucharest, and obtained a Masters degree from the University of Utrecht in 2010. His results include and asymptotic analysis of system identification for the atom maser, and the use of ABC techniques for this purpose, the general theory of local asymptotic normality for quantum Markov processes, and the investigation of the Heisenberg limit in metrology with finitely correlated states.
