I'm Professor
Jonathan A. Jones, University Lecturer in
physics at the
University of Oxford and
Fellow of
Brasenose 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 District of
Amman, and went to the
Abbey High School in
Redditch 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.

For twice going out of your way to take photographs to improve
Buildings of Jesus College, Oxford (about a rival college, indeed!) a barnstar is humbly offered with my thanks.
