PhD Scholarship: Quantum control for trapped-ion quantum computers with Q-CTRL and the University of Sydney (Future Leaders in Quantum Computing Program).
This PhD Scholarship offers a generous stipend of A$41,753 per year (2025 rate) for up to 4 years. Open to domestic and international students.
This PhD project aims to innovate quantum control strategies to accelerate the large-scale utility of quantum computers. The focus is on enabling a new suite of quantum control that will significantly reduce the quantum hardware resources and allow low-error processing of quantum information.
This will be achieved by developing advanced dynamical modulation techniques that incorporate light-atom Hamiltonian engineering, leveraging machine learning techniques and insights from atomic and optical physics.
This scholarship is funded and delivered by the ARC Training Centre for Future Leaders in Quantum Computing, in partnership with Sydney Quantum Academy.
This project is delivered in with Q-CTRL and the University of Sydney.
