Sir Ghillean Tolmie Prance MA DPhil DSc FLS FIBiol FRGS FRS VMH (born 13 July 1937) is a prominent British botanist and ecologist.[1]
He has published extensively[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] on the taxonomy of families such as Chrysobalanaceae and Lecythidaceae, but he perhaps drew more attention in documenting the pollination ecology of Victoria amazonica.[14][15] The foremost public office he held was as director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (1988–1999). He was knighted in 1995. Since his retirement he has remained very active, notably involving himself with the Eden Project. Prance, a devout Christian, is currently the chair of A Rocha[16] and was president of Christians in Science 2002–08.[17]
He is actively involved on environmental issues, a trustee of the Amazon Charitable Trust, and a Vice-President of the Nature in Art Trust.[18] A biography of Prance was written by Clive Langmead.[1]
The standard author abbreviation Prance is used to indicate this individual as the author when citing a botanical name.[19]

- BACKGROUND: Electroencephalography (EEG) is still a widely used imaging tool that combines high temporal resolution with a relatively low cost. Ag/AgCl metal electrodes have been the gold standard for non-invasively monitoring electrical brain activity. Although reliable, these electrodes have multi

- The operation of solid-state qubits often relies on single-shot readout using a nanoelectronic charge sensor, and the detection of events in a noisy sensor signal is crucial for high fidelity readout of such qubits. The most common detection scheme, comparing the signal to a threshold value, is accu

- The qubit is the fundamental building block of a quantum computer. We fabricate a qubit in a silicon double-quantum dot with an integrated micromagnet in which the qubit basis states are the singlet state and the spin-zero triplet state of two electrons. Because of the micromagnet, the magnetic fiel
