Õ¬Äи£Àû

Multiple PhD positions available at Õ¬Äи£Àû Sydney, Fundamental Quantum Technologies Laboratory, School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications

We are seeking PhD candidates for an exciting research project on quantum information in higher dimensions. The project is led by , a pioneer of the field of spin-based quantum computing, and funded through an Australian Research Council .

The project aims to encode and manipulate quantum information in the 8-dimensional Hilbert space of donors in silicon. This system can accommodate error-corrected logical qubits within a single atom, enabling novel and efficient quantum error correction schemes.

The PhD candidates will work across a wide range of experimental and theoretical activities:

• Design and fabrication of silicon quantum devices with deterministic placement of donors atoms
• Quantum measurement, quantum control and quantum information processing
• Theory and experimental implementation of quantum error correction

Õ¬Äи£Àû offers competitive PhD stipends, $37,684 p.a. (tax-free), and the possibility of extra top-ups through the , internal funds, and teaching assistance duties.

The research group of Andrea Morello is a vibrant, diverse and dynamic environment, famous for its groundbreaking research and its healthy, collaborative work style.

To apply, email Professor Andrea Morello (a.morello@unsw.edu.au) with the following details:

• A complete CV, including name and contacts of two references
• Undergraduate transcripts
• Copy of undergraduate thesis and other relevant research outputs

Candidates who are selected to proceed will need to apply to the formal PhD admission process of Õ¬Äи£Àû. The deadline for the next intake is 13 September, 2024.
