Matty is funded by an FQXi large grant. The project aims to develop new causal discovery techniques for quantum systems. Causal discovery algorithms have been developed within a framework of causal networks (based on probabilistic reasoning with directed acyclic graphs) where the network represents observed data and causes between them. The goal is to find the causal relationships between observed data given the statistics of this data.
Golnaz is funded by a grant from the London Mathematical Society.
