New Leigh Trapnell Professor of Quantum Physics

Professor Richard Jozsa, currently Professor of Computer Science at the University of Bristol, has been elected as the second holder of the Leigh Trapnell Chair in Quantum Physics.

Richard Jozsa is regarded as one of the founders of the subject of quantum information science and has made many fundamental contributions to that field. The importance of his work was acknowledged by the award of the 2004 Naylor Prize of the London Mathematical Society.
