“Physics is the knife that cuts into the grain of nature.”  Jacob Bronowski

Welcome to my homepage! My name is Masoud Ghalaii. I am a researcher in quantum information theory at University of Leeds in Pollard Institute, School of Electronic & Electrical Engineering.

I am also a member of Quantum Communications Hub of UK.

I am awarded a White Rose Research Studentship. My principal supervisour is Prof Mohsen Razavi. I am having  Prof Tim Spiller and Prof Stefano Pirandola at University of York as co-supervisours.

My main fields of interest are 

• Fundamental Physics
• Quantum ‎Optics ‎and ‎Photonics ‎
• Quantum [Optical] Information and Communication

Currently I’m working on quantum optical communications, and the use of quantum amplifiers and repeaters in continuous-variable quantum key distribution, as well as satellite quantum key distribution.
