Jordi Tura's research interests combine various aspects of quantum information science, from quantum computing to device-independent quantum information processing. He has worked on entanglement theory and Bell inequalities in multipartite systems and, over the course of the last few years, he has been…

I am currently a University Lecturer in Theoretical Philosophy at Leiden University. My main research areas are philosophy of physics and philosophy of science. I am also interested in the metaphysics of quantities, Early Modern history and philosophy of science and philosophy of cognitive science.

Boyarsky is on a quest to unravel the nature of one of the most mysterious phenomena in the Universe. The cosmos appears to consist for the larger part out of mass we cannot see. We have no idea where it comes from. Physicists call this ‘dark matter’. Sterile neutrinos are candidate building blocks…

During your studies you'll acquire a good theoretical basis. But what about practical experience? By doing an internship you can gain a clearer picture of a particular position or sector. For some study programmes an internship is a compulsory part of the curriculum.

Predicting the collective behaviour of systems, like a large group of people electing one of the parties, is no easy task. But there’s a theory that scientists have been using for decades to do just that: the theory of Gibbs measures. Last week, mathematician Mirmukhsin Makhmudov earned his PhD for…

Alex Colling himself calls his bachelor's thesis ‘the highlight of his time in Leiden’. And according to his supervisors, that resulted in an outstanding thesis, with great attention to detail. The Mathematics and Physics student worked on a mathematical description of monopoles: hypothetical particles…

Problems in the world we live come and go, and are a source of debate in society, business and politics as well as a topic for researchers who aim to better understand mechanism in so many different areas. Effectively tackling these problems is a hard task for any party involved.

After many years of preparations, CERN has approved a groundbreaking new experiment: the Search for Hidden Particles (SHiP). Physicist Alexey Boyarsky was involved from the start. ‘We know there is physics that’s missing and we aim to find it.’

Swarms of drones, pedestrians or the cells in your body. Those are all examples of active matter: materials whose building blocks can move autonomously. That’s what Luca Giomi studies. Giomi has been appointed Professor of theoretical physics in the area of soft matter and biological physics at the…

Carlo Beenakker knows all about the quantum world. He looks at the behaviour of quantum particles and considers how this knowledge can be used to develop new technologies. He is currently considering how to build a quantum computer in a laboratory.

Leticia Pablos Robles is an associate professor within the track language and cognition in Experimental Linguistics. She is specialized in sentence comprehension and she has a special interest in topics such as: prediction in the brain, processing of long-distance dependencies and the use of prosodic/semantic/syntactic…
