Background

Lucien Hardy received his PhD at Durham University in 1992 under the supervision of Professor Euan J Squires. He has held research and lecturing positions in various cities across Europe. While in Rome Lucien collaborated on an experiment to demonstrate quantum teleportation. In 1992 he found a very simple proof of non-locality in quantum theory which has become known as Hardy?s theorem.

Research Interests

He is working on operational approaches to quantum theory and quantum gravity. Specifically he is developing an operational framework in which it is hoped that quantum theory, probabilistic general relativity, and ultimately quantum gravity can be formulated. This builds on earlier work providing simple set of postulates for quantum theory within the context of an more basic operational framework.
