Research at CXC
Our purpose is to redefine the fundamental limits of communication by investigating the neXt physical layers of reality through which information is exchanged.
CXC consists of highly motivated researchers performing cutting edge interdisciplinary research.
CXC research outputs spanning journals, conferences, books, preprints, and theses.
CXC projects transform core ideas into interdisciplinary applications, engaging with partners across academia, industry, and society.
