Ben Fortescue

I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Physics, University of Toronto in the group of Professor Hoi-Kwong Lo.

Bio

I graduated with an MPhys in physics from the University of Oxford in 2002 and did a year's graduate work in the Oxford Elementary Particle Theory Group before coming to Toronto in 2003. I received my MSc from Toronto in 2004.

Research Interests

All aspects of quantum information, particularly entanglement, quantum cryptography and possible insights into fundamental quantum mechanics.
