معرفی
Vivien Kendon is a Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Strathclyde, UK, within the Faculty of Science. She is an active researcher in quantum computing, with a strong focus on quantum algorithms and their applications in scientific computing and fluid dynamics. She leads multiple research projects and supervises PhD students.
- Doctor of Philosophy, Finite Reynolds number effects in fluid mixtures: an investigation using numerical simulation methods, University of Edinburgh (1999)
Her research lies at the intersection of quantum information and computational physics. She specializes in quantum walks, quantum simulation, and quantum algorithms for solving differential equations and fluid dynamics problems. Her work bridges theoretical quantum computing with practical implementation on near-term hardware.
Recent publications highlight a strong trend in quantum-enhanced fluid simulation, particularly through quantum versions of smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH). Other key themes include quantum benchmarking, entanglement characterization, and noise resilience in quantum algorithms. Her work spans from foundational quantum information to applied computational methods, reflecting a multidisciplinary approach.
She is a Principal Investigator on multiple funded projects, including SQALE2 (Innovate UK) and QC13 (EPSRC), focusing on integrated quantum computing implementations. She contributes to the development of quantum software and metrics, and her research supports the UN Sustainable Development Goal for Quality Education.
Her collaborations span institutions and she is involved in national quantum initiatives. She maintains an active publication record and shares datasets to support reproducibility.
