| Description | We have developed an algorithm capable of learning the models which underpin quantum systems. The protocol reverse engineers Hamiltonian models by designing experiments to perform upon the quantum system of interest. It tests a series of Hamiltonian models in order to determine which set of interactions are most likely affecting the system. |
| Exploitation Route | This is significant because, due to the fragility of quantum systems, it is difficult to know what is going on within quantum systems. This routine will enable future experimentalists the opportunity to understand their system at a quantum level, therefore helping them understand, for instance, why their experiment is not performing as expected. |

| Results and Impact | Quantum Innovation Lab brings industrial partners with a vague interest in quantum technology, together with leading academics with expertise of said quantum technology. Over the course of the workshop they work together to identify potential projects which may aid the progression of these technologies to market. I lead the organisation of this workshop, and will take part personally. |

| Primary Audience | Schools |
| Results and Impact | Quantum in the Summer is a week long summer school run in Quantum Engineering Technology Labs in the university of Bristol. The school brings 16 students entering their final year of A-level studies, and introduces them to topics in physics beyond what is taught at school level. The school is primarily aimed at students from under-represented backgrounds. I co-organised this school and taught some of the lessons. |
