Dr. Gerard McCaul Joins Loughborough University for Pioneering Quantum Research Project

Loughborough University Physics Department are extremely pleased to announce the recent recruitment of Dr. Gerard McCaul to work on the QRC-4-ESP project. Gerard is a British theoretical physicist who completed his PhD in 2019, studying path integral representations of open systems at King's College London. Following this, he was a WM Keck postdoctoral fellow at Tulane university, where his research interests extended to include non-linear optics, quantum control, and their application to technologies such as computing. In this regard, the paradigm of quantum reservoir computing is a natural extension and application of his previous work. In his spare time, Gerard claims to be a mediocre writer and a positively dreadful guitarist. But the QRC-4-ESP project jury remains out on these last two points! At the very least, we hope to hear some guitar licks at the next consortium meeting in Montpellier!
