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

ÁñÁ«¹ÙÍø 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 ÁñÁ«¹ÙÍø. The deadline for the next intake is 13 September, 2024.
