I studied the Theoretical Physics with Mathematics MSci at Lancaster University.<\/p>\n<p>My <strong>Masters research project<\/strong> was on quantum discord in a Majorana-based device as a characterisation of non-local correlations. A brief explanation of those words: quantum discord is a measure of non-classical correlations not necessarily due to entanglement, but also to non-commutativity. Majorana particles are zero-energy solutions to the Dirac equation. &#8216;Quasiparticles&#8217; refers to these not being fundamental particles of nature, but rather emergent phenomena in solids. Loosely speaking, these Majoranas quasiparticles represent half-a-fermion degrees-of-freedom. They can appear at the ends of one-dimensional quantum wires. Since they are each &#8216;half-an-electron&#8217;, they really represent two halves of an electron wavefunction spread across the chain. Probing one affects the other, and vice-versa, hence the quantum correlations. I showed that indeed, these correlations (as measured by the discord) are nonzero.<\/p>\n<p>My <strong>PhD research<\/strong> is on time-reversal symmetry breaking in superconductors through loop Josephson-current order.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul class=\"kent-social-links\"><li><a href='http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/strongcorrelations\/people\/henry-sheehy\/&amp;t=Henry Sheehy' target='_blank'><i class='ksocial-facebook' title='Share via Facebook'><\/i><\/a><\/li><li><a href='http:\/\/twitter.com\/home?status=Henry Sheehy%20https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/strongcorrelations\/people\/henry-sheehy\/' target='_blank'><i class='ksocial-twitter' title='Share via Twitter'><\/i><\/a><\/li><li><a href='https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/strongcorrelations\/people\/henry-sheehy\/' target='_blank'><i class='ksocial-google-plus' title='Share via Google Plus'><\/i><\/a><\/li><li><a href='http:\/\/linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&amp;url=https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/strongcorrelations\/people\/henry-sheehy\/&amp;title=Henry Sheehy' target='_blank'><i class='ksocial-linkedin' title='Share via Linked In'><\/i><\/a><\/li><li><a href='mailto:content=https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/strongcorrelations\/people\/henry-sheehy\/&amp;title=Henry Sheehy' target='_blank'><i class='ksocial-email' title='Share via Email'><\/i><\/a><\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PhD candidate (Vice Chancellor\u2019s Research Scholar).
