Ion Trap Quantum Computing
Prof. Andrew Steane and Dr. David Lucas
About Us
We are primarily an experimental group, testing and developing ideas in quantum computing using laser-manipulated trapped ions.
We are also involved in some theoretical activity, concerned mainly with quantum fault-tolerant methods and quantum error correction. See here for introductions, papers, and other links about this work.

Location
We work at the Clarendon Laboratory at the University of Oxford. For directions see the Oxford Physics page here.
