Following the funding agency STFC's Quantum Technologies for Fundamental Physics series of grants and subsequent research, all principal investigators were invited to submit a paper to a special issue of New Journal of Physics (which, a bit like New College, Oxford, is not very new any more). It wasn't a requirement of having won a grant under the programme, but contributing to the special issue felt to me like an appropriate part of belonging to that community. It also seemed like a good way to give ammunition to STFC and all grant-holders in securing future funding by having a high-quality special issue.
I wanted to see how much impact the QTFP work has had on future research. It's not the only way to measure it, but looking at individual per-article citation counts for this special issue seemed like a reasonable proxy to me. I'm happy to say that the article written by my postdoc Bharti and I is by far the most cited paper. Here's a little graph to celebrate that fact.
