Ben Lanyon's research is focused on investiging quantum phenomena in distributed and many-body systems, and their implications for science and technology. The aim is to access new experimental regimes where quantum information and correlations can between distributed between large numbers and different kinds of quantum systems, over arbitrary distances. The experimental approach is to develop techniques to interface light (photons) with the quantum states of matter (trapped atomic ions) and use them to build light-matter quantum networks.
