About us
Welcome to the Department of Physics We aspire to be one of the best physics departments in the world by conducting cutting-edge research and by teaching and developing the careers of the next generation of physicists. We seek to promote the public understanding of the achievements and potential of physics. We work on major facilities worldwide, develop the most advanced experimental techniques and the most sophisticated theoretical methods to investigate nature at every scale • from the unimaginably large, probing the earliest epochs of the universe • to the everyday scale of the earth’s climate • to the unimaginably small, hunting for the Higgs boson at the LHC and at every temperature • from the plasmas created using powerful lasers • to the search for room temperature superconductors • to quantum phenomena only observable close to absolute zero. We pursue fundamental science and in doing so make discoveries that enable us to contribute directly to tackling the challenging problems facing society. Visit our website www.physics.ox.ac.uk for more information, events, lectures and news.

🌍✨ Celebrating CERN’s International High School Teachers Programme 2024 organised by the irrepressible Jeff Wiener! ✨🌍 Giving lectures to such an interested and diverse group of teachers (https://lnkd.in/dU6uXa95) is always inspiring and made me really happy that these teachers will be our future multipliers to get the new generation of young students interested in science. I introduced them to the cutting-edge technologies from "physics to medical applications for cancer treatment”. Most of them had never even heard of, let alone seen a human colour X-ray coming from the CERN #Medipix collaboration. They were very curious to hear about the newly emerging #FLASH treatment modality and global access and disparities in access to cancer treatment, an area I specialize in as the Project Lead for the International Cancer Expert Corps's Project #STELLA. A special shout out to the 46 teachers from 37 different nationalities, including our first participants from Bhutan, Ethiopia, Guatemala, and Oman! 🌏🌟 Since the start over 25 years ago, teachers from 111 countries have taken part in CERN’s programmes. 🌐📚 One especially creative and poignant moment was when Philipp Bechtold asked me to sign his guitar which is now featuring signatures from all the teachers and lecturers and as he so aptly described as a beautiful representation of two of the great connectors between peoples and languages: science and music. Each signature represents a note in the symphony of global education, resonating with the idea that we are all World Citizens. 🎸🎶🌍 Thank you all for being part of this wonderful journey and thank you Jeff for so many hilarious moments. Check out the attached world map and group picture to see our vibrant global community and of course the guitar. 📸🗺️ University of Oxford, Department of Physics John Adams Institute for Accelerator Science

🎉 Congrats to Dr. Raghavendra Srinivas on winning Optica’s Theodor W Hänsch Prize in Quantum Optics! 🏆 Dr. Srinivas is celebrated for his work on nonclassical states of trapped ions, enhancing optical atomic clock comparisons, and developing exotic ion motion states. He is dedicated to making quantum tech accessible to disadvantaged students via programs like In2scienceUK and the Oxford summer school. ‘It is a tremendous honour to receive this prize,’ says Dr. Srinivas. ‘This recognition is not only for me but my colleagues who made this work possible. I’m excited to use the prize money for outreach.’ #QuantumTech #Optica #Award #STEMOutreach #OxfordUniversity University of Oxford

🚀 Curious about time on the moon? Dr. Carly Howett, Associate Professor of Space Instrumentation, tackles Oxford Sparks’ big question: what time is it on the moon? 🌕 🕰️ "A clock on the moon runs 1 second slower every 46 Earth years. Not a big deal for daily activities, but crucial for precise science and engineering." 🔗 Click the link below to hear Dr. Howett discuss the challenges of lunar timekeeping with University of Oxford's Oxford Sparks. https://lnkd.in/eFqJyyTV #SpaceScience #LunarTime #OxfordSparks #Astronomy #SpaceExploration #OxfordUniversity #physics

Dr. Peter Leek has been appointed Chief Scientific Officer at Oxford Quantum Circuits (OQC), a University of Oxford spin-out. Balancing this role with his research at the Department of Physics, Dr. Leek will lead OQC's scientific operations and global research programs. Dr. Leek founded OQC in 2017 and has been a scientific adviser since then. He continues to lead a group researching superconducting quantum circuits at Oxford and is a co-investigator in the UK’s Quantum Computing and Simulation Hub. ‘Taking on the role of Chief Scientific Officer at OQC is both an honour and an exciting opportunity,’ said Dr. Leek. ‘I am looking forward to helping the company develop its technology toward the era of universal fault-tolerant quantum computation, while continuing to explore new directions in academic research at the university.’ #QuantumComputing #ScientificLeadership #Innovation #Physics #OxfordUniversity #OQC
