Person

Reid, Margaret Daphne

FAA

Occupation
Quantum physicist

Summary

Margaret Reid is a physicist noted for her pioneering work on new, fundamental tests of quantum theory with her development of inferred Heisenberg inequalities. Her ideas have led to developments in quantum information, including in cryptography and teleportation. She also works on macroscopic tests for quantum mechanics, with relevance to quantum optics, ultra-cold atomic physics and nano-mechanical oscillators. Reid was Chief Investigator for the ARC Centre of Excellence for Quantum-Atom Optics before joining the Centre for Quantum and Optical Science at Swinburne University of Technology in 2009.
