The scholarships offer a competitive stipend of AUD $41,650 per year for 3.5 years, a $15,000 training allowance, a $5,000 travel allowance, an $840 publication allowance and a one-off $5,000 cost-of-living payment. For Domestic students only.
This theory project will investigate using quantum networks to accelerate communications and sensing protocols. The research will involve modelling of the dynamics of networks of distributed entangled states, including error analysis and mitigation strategies involving quantum control and quantum error correction, to enable capabilities like: (1) anonymized communication at scale with differential privacy, (2) Very Long Basine Interometry in the optical domain for precision geodesy and astronomy, and (3) efficient consensus protocols using classical communications augmented with local node quantum processing.
This project is part of the CSIRO Next Generation Quantum Graduates Program (NGQGP).
