Scientia PhD Scholarship to study Hole Quantum Dots at UNSW Sydney, Australia
A generously funded Scientia Scholarship is available to for
an experimental PhD project to study hole quantum dots.
The scholarship is fully funded for 4 years (including all university
tuition fees, a AUS$40k (US$30k) annual stipend, and an additional
annual research/travel budget), and is open to applicants from any
nationality.
The research project will investigate hole spins in quantum dots. In
the past decade intense research has been devoted in trapping electrons
trapped in semiconductor quantum dots, initially to study the
fundamental properties of artificial atoms, and subsequently to use the
spin of the electrons as the basis for quantum information technologies.
To date almost all research has focussed on the properties of electrons
in semiconductor quantum dots. However very recent theoretical work
suggests that that using positively charged semiconductor holes, rather
than negatively charged electrons, may bring significant advantages – as
well revealing much unexplored new physics. This is because of the much
stronger spin-orbit interaction that exists in holes than electrons,
allowing the hole spins to be manipulated simply by applying an electric
field. The PhD candidate will study holes trapped in semiconductor
quantum dots, to perform all electrical control of hole spins, and to
test if holes can make good quantum bits. Experiments will be conducted
at ultra-low temperatures, using ultra-low noise electrical measurement
and control techniques.
The project is a collaborative effort between Scientia Professor Alex
Hamilton in the Department of Physics and Scientia Professor Andrew
Dzurak in the department of Electrical Engineering &
Telecommunications. Further details of the group's research can be found
at https://www.phys.unsw.edu.au/qed
Given the generous stipend and project funding, applicants are
expected to have a first class academic record from a world top-200
university (or top in the country), and at least one peer reviewed
publication. Details of how to apply are here: http://www.2025.unsw.edu.au/apply/scientia-phd-scholarships/hole-spins-quantum-dots
Prospective applicants must contact Alex.Hamilton@unsw.edu.au by 20 July
2017.
