Volcanoes are erupting in The Philippines, but on-fire Australia received some welcome rain. The Iran war cries have been called off and The Donald’s military powers are about to be hamstrung by the Senate. Meanwhile, his impeachment trial is starting, and we’re all on Twitter for a front-row seat.

A Visiting Professor of physics at the Centre for Quantum Computation, the Clarendon Laboratory, Oxford University, and an Honorary Fellow of Wolfson College, Oxford, David Deutsch works on fundamental issues in physics, particularly the quantum theory of computation and information, and the new field of constructor theory.
In 1985, he wrote a pioneering paper that proposed the idea of a universal quantum computer, and then made some of the most important advances in the field, including his discovery of the first quantum algorithms. He is also a leading proponent of the multiverse (or “many worlds”) interpretation of quantum theory—the idea that our universe is constantly spawning countless numbers of parallel worlds.
