University · Cardiff
Compound semiconductors anchor Cardiff University's quantum work. The university co-owns the Compound Semiconductor Centre with IQE, and was a partner in QFoundry, the centre's 2020 to 2024 consortium to set up an open-access foundry for quantum semiconductor components. Cardiff is also one of six universities in Q-BIOMED, the UCL-led national hub for quantum biomedical sensing, and was a partner in the earlier Quantum Computing and Simulation Hub.
Cardiff University is a university in Cardiff with four quantum projects in this directory. It is a partner in 4 UK projects, including QCi3, Q-BIOMED and QFoundry.

Haag duality for Levin-Wen string net models, previously established in 2023, now benefits from an independent verification. This work introduces a new local topological order axiom (LTO-HD) guaranteeing this duality for cone-like regions, confirming results obtained through alternative methods. Dem
