I'm Professor Jonathan A. Jones, University Lecturer in physics at the University of Oxford and FellowofBrasenose College, Oxford. My main interests are in quantum computation but I have side interests in chemistry and biochemistry, and (more bizarrely) have joint publications in psychology and political science. I have Erdős number 3, via Hilary Carteret and Bruce Richmond, and a h-index of 36. As my wiki page now says I am probably best known not for my main academic work but rather for a successful FOI request to obtain data from the UEA CRU [1].

I grew up mostly in Feckenham, but with long stays in Suva and the Zahran DistrictofAmman, and went to the Abbey High SchoolinRedditch before studying chemistry at Corpus Christi College, Oxford and St John's College, Oxford. I have had research positions at Merton College, Oxford and the University of California, Berkeley. My main academic collaborations have been with the research groups of Peter Hore, George Radda, Alexander Pines, Chris Dobson, Artur Ekert, Simon Duckett, Minaru Kawamura, Ruth Dixon, and Vlatko Vedral.

I should probably be busy rewriting the quantum computation pages, but I instead allowed myself (worse luck) to be dragged into maintaining the John Hood page with all the consequent controversies that leads to. That inspired me to join the University of Oxford WikiProject. I mostly keep well away from the topic of climate change but do keep an eye on the biographies of some participants.

I also have interests in a number of random pages, often linked in some bizarre way to Oxford, Brasenose or Cornwall and have created more than four dozen stubs [2]. As you might guess from my edit style I am an inclusionist by philosophy.

For the avoidance of all doubt I have no connection with or conflict of interest with any other person listed at Jonathan Jones, although I am fairly frequently confused with Jonathan Jones (journalist) and am occasionally confused with Jonathan D. G. Jones.
