Job no: 528978 Work type: Full Time Location: Sydney, NSW Categories: Post Doctoral Research Associate, Senior Research Associate
The Opportunity
The research group of Professor Andrea Morello has an opening for a postdoctoral Research Associate / Senior Research Associate. The group specialises in the development of quantum computing hardware based on the spin of implanted donors, integrated within silicon nanoelectronic devices. Your role will be to conduct research of theoretical nature. The research project this role will be working on is aimed at the demonstration of quantum information processing with high-spin nuclei in silicon, exploiting the high dimensionality of the Hilbert space to encode robust logical qubits. The focus of the project is on the demonstration of fault-tolerant quantum operations, quantum error correction, and scalability beyond one atom. As a theory-focussed Research Associate / Senior Research Associate in the group, you will be responsible for developing new theory for quantum information processing in high-dimensional systems and informing future directions for the experimental effort.
We are looking for a candidate with a strong background in theoretical quantum information processing, quantum error correction, and application to practical quantum devices.
This role will report to Scientia Professor Andrea Morello and has no direct reports.
