Autorenporträt

John Gough is Professor of mathematical and theoretical physics at Aberystwyth University, Wales. He works in the field of quantum probability and open systems, especially quantum Markovian models that can be described in terms of the Hudson-Parthasarathy quantum stochastic calculus. His more recent work has been on the general theory of networks of quantum Markovian input-output and their applications to quantum feedback control.
