My interests are, broadly, how quantum information differs from the classical world and how this can be harnessed for a useful advantage. I have worked on different topics in quantum information, including quantum communication and metrology, quantum advantage and complexity theory, quantum optics, and measurement based quantum computing. During my PhD, I studied Gaussian boson sampling, and during my postdoc I have been working on distributed quantum sensing. I am also currently interested in contextuality.

I grew up in Essex, in the UK, and did my undergrad at Durham University, then joined the Quantum Engineering CDT at the University of Bristol (now the QIST CDT). During my PhD I did an internship with Riverlane and worked part-time for Duality Quantum Photonics. Since May 2024 I have been in Paris in the LIP6 QI group.

To see a list of my papers, you can look at my Google Scholar. You can download my thesis here. When I was writing my thesis, I also wrote a considerably longer ‘annotated copy’. This is not peer-reviewed (and mostly not read by anyone other than myself), but contains extra notes that I wrote explaining concepts in more detail or adding extra details I found interesting. You can download it here. I hope someone else finds it useful!

I am interested in outreach and DEI. As a student I wrote several articles for Physics World.

You are welcome to get in touch – if you have questions about any of my papers, if you want help with applications to a group or company I was with, if you are interested in collaborations, if you would like assistance organising an outreach project, or anything else. My email address is naomi.solomons@lip6.fr, or you can message me on LinkedIn or Bluesky (I check the latter quite rarely).
