Prof. John G. Rarity, FRS, is a Director of QET Labs & Photonics and Quantum in Bristol. He is the Bristol PI and work-package leader on the EPSRC Quantum Technology Hubs in Imaging (EP/T00097X/1) and Communications (EP/T001011/1), and the recipient of several relevant grants (EP/M024458/1, EP/M009033/1, EP/W006685/1). He is a founding father of quantum technologies, publishing pioneering papers in solid-state single-photon detection, quantum interferometry, quantum measurements, and quantum key distribution in fiber and in free space. He has contributed to over 170 refereed publications on nanophotonics and quantum optics (h-index 70, > 18000 citations), including some of the pioneering papers in the field of quantum optics and quantum information. He held an EPSRC-established career fellowship (EP/M024458/1), an ERC advanced grant, and was awarded the IOP Thomas Young Medal in1994, the Descartes Prize in 2004, and the RS Wolfson Research Merit award in 2006---all recognizing his eminence in quantum optics and nanoscience. He was elected as an FRS in 2015.
