My research aims to develop new logical and structural techniques, with the goal to transform the way we compute in the future, across a range of areas including quantum and classical computation. A lot of my research uses the tools of category theory, a rich abstract language for understanding how interacting systems process information. I am also interested in studying category theory itself, finding ways to make it more powerful and easier to use. I work as part of the Cambridge Logical Structures Hub (CLASH) research group in the department.
I love welcoming new members to my team. If you are interested in working with me as an undergraduate, Masters or PhD student, or if you'd like to ask about postdoctoral research opportunities, send me a message and I'd be happy to chat.
Geometrical higher category theory. A longstanding problem in higher category theory has been to define a semistrict theory, where part of the syntax is trivialized, making the theory easier to use. One standard approach to this is string diagrams, and this has been a major focus over the last several years, resulting in the graphical proof assistant homotopy.io for semistrict n-categories (LICS2022#P41, LICS2019#P36, LICS2017#P29.) The latest version is developed in Rust (github), and allows construction of composites and homotopies in arbitrary dimension, in a strictly associative and unital setting, with advanced visualisation options including Morse projection, 3d and 4d rendering, and LaTeX export. Collaborators include Krzysztof Bar, Nathan Corbyn, Lukas Heidemann, Nick Hu, David Reutter and Calin Tataru.
Type theory for higher category theory. An exciting major line of current activity is using type theory to understand the properties of higher categories. In recent work we gave a new definition of strictly unital ∞-category (LICS2022#P36) which has better properties than the one previously in the literature, and also the first general definition of strictly associative ∞-category (2109.01513#P39). Collaboration with Eric Finster, David Reutter and Alex Rice.
Complexity of geometrical calculi. We have a developing interest in complexity-theoretic aspects of geometrical techniques, an exciting area where much remains to be done. We have shown that the word problem for monoidal categories can be solved in quadratic time (LMCS2018#P34), and that the word problem for braided monoidal categories is at least as hard as the unknot problem (ACT2021#P40). Joint work with my student Antonin Delpeuch.
Quantum combinatorics. Our goal in this area is to understand the nature of a wide range of quantum combinatorial objects, and how they interact with each other, using the tools of category theory. Major contributions here include the definition of quantum Latin squares (QIC2015#P17, QIP 2016), and a new way to use higher category theory to define unitary error bases, quantum Latin squares and other combinatorial objects as biunitary vertices in the 2-category of 2-Hilbert spaces (LICS2012#P8, QIP 2017). Joint work with my students Benjamin Musto and David Reutter.
Dynamics of quantum systems. Categorical techniques have powerful application in the area of quantum dynamics, where we can use simple geometrical rules to understand the origins of computational effects. In a new collaboration, we recently used these techniques to show that exact measurement correlations can be computed in heterogenous qubit networks even when measurements are interspersed arbitrarily with unitary gates (2207.00025#P42). In other work we showed how a shaded tangle calculus gives a powerful language for understanding a wide range of quantum computational phenomena, including quantum error correction, where we can see for the first time the errors being "captured" by "bubbles" and eliminated (PRSA#P30). We also showed how string diagrams can be used to understand the dynamics of some important quantum algorithms (LICS2013#P9). Collaborators include Pieter Claeys, Marius Henry, Austen Lamacraft and David Reutter.
Topological quantum field theory. If a quantum field theory has the property that its partition function depends only on the diffeomorphism class of the manifold, it is called topological. We showed that 3-dimensional TQFTs extended to points are classified precisely by modular tensor categories equipped with certain extra data, settling an important long-standing conjecture (1509.06811#P18). Other work on 2-dimensional TQFT showed that the wormhole creation process is identical to the entanglement creation process, verifying in a topological setting the ER=EPR hypothesis of Maldacena and Susskind (CQG2014#P12). Collaborators include John Baez, Bruce Bartlett, Christopher Douglas and Christopher Schommer-Pries.
Biography. I joined Cambridge as a member of faculty in 2020. Before that I was a faculty member in the Theoretical Computer Science research group in Birmingham, which followed several years as a postdoctoral researcher in the Quantum Group in the Computer Science department at Oxford, and also at the Centre for Quantum Technologies in Singapore. I did my PhD in Physics at Imperial College London under the supervision of Professor Chris Isham, which was awarded in 2009, and which focused on the mathematical foundations of quantum computation. Before that I took the fantastic Maths Part III course in Cambridge with a specialization in quantum physics, which followed a first degree in Physics at Mansfield College in Oxford.
