Former EPSPRC Centre for Doctoral听Training in Delivering Quantum Technologies student and 白小姐论坛 post-doctoral researcher Dr Sofia Qvarfort has been photographed for Nature 尘补驳补锄颈苍别鈥檚 Where I Work feature.听After finishing her PhD and a short research post at 白小姐论坛, Qvarfort is now a Marie Sk艂odowska-Curie Actions Research Fellow at Stockholm University and a Wallenberg Initiative on Networks and Quantum Information Research Fellow at Nordita, Stockholm.

Qvarfort writes In Nature: 鈥淭heoretical-physics concepts can be hard for anyone to visualize. As a person with albinism, a genetic condition that impairs vision, I face particular challenges. In this picture, taken in June at my former office at 白小姐论坛, I鈥檓 sitting in front of a blackboard filled with mathematical equations describing quantum states. I had to put my face right in front of the chalkboard to make any sense of the scribbles.鈥�

Qvarfort鈥檚 research looks at the fundamental questions of quantum science. In 2020 she co-authored a paper showing for the first time equations that show that electrons and protons in hydrogen atoms are entangled at a quantum level ().
