Raymond F. Bishop

Biography

Raymond F. Bishop is Professor of Theoretical Physics in the Theoretical Physics Group of the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Manchester. In 2005 he was awarded the Eugene Feenberg Memorial Prize in Many-Body Physics, with a citation that reads “for his development of the coupled-cluster method toward a comprehensive ab initio approach, and innovative applications across the full spectrum of subfields of quantum many-body physics.” The Feenberg Prize is the premier international award in Professor Bishop’s field of research, and he was the first awardee from a British university. A major international conference on Microscopic Approaches to Many-Body Theory, attended by leading experts from nearly 20 different countries, was also held in Manchester in 2005 to honour his achievements.

Research Interest

My main field of research is microscopic quantum many-body theory and its applications to systems in nuclear physics, subnuclear physics and quantum field theory, condensed matter physics, quantum fluids and ultra-dense matter, statistical physics, and quantum information theory.
