Mr Dan Travers

Dan graduated from the University of St Andrews in 2025 with a BSc in Maths and Physics. During his undergrad, he completed a summer research project on quantum state sharing - a continuous-variable protocol which uses entangled states of light to distribute encrypted information among multiple parties. In his final year project, Dan coded and evaluated three optimisation algorithms, applying them to the problem of maximising points in Fantasy Football, a favourite hobby of his. His research interests within quantum information science remain broad, but are currently centred on photonic quantum computing and communication.
