quantum computing

We are establishing a new research institute headed by Martin Kliesch on quantum computing and related topics, see www.tuhh.de/quantum.

The selected candidates will work with our established team of physicists and engineers to build our integrated photonic quantum computation platform based on the continuous variable (CV) approach. They will be involved in all aspects of the quantum hardware system at Xanadu’s lab: design of photonic components, construction of the apparatus, and carrying out key experiments. They will also be responsible for writing patents and peer-reviewed publications describing these devices and experiments. Successful applicants will have a proven track record of accomplishments in experimental quantum optics, having developed during their research careers cutting-edge techniques for the generation, control, and detection of non-classical light.

Multiphoton quantum interference is one of the most intriguing phenomena in quantum physics, and is at the very heart of quantum computing and metrology technologies. However, the post-classical sensing and computational capabilities of multiphoton networks are yet far from being fully explored in practical experimental scenarios.

This theoretical project aims to develop scalable sensing and computational techniques based on the use of optimal linear interferometers with experimentally available photonic input states. The main idea is to exploit the full quantum information encoded in the interferometric evolution of the input photonic quantum states by employing novel measurement techniques (e.g. iterative interferometric dynamics, conditional dynamics, multiplexing and correlation measurements sensitive to the photonic inner and spatial modes).

This 3-day workshop on applications of discrete phase space methods in fault-tolerant quantum computing provides a platform for young researchers to present their work while leaving enough opportunities for extended discussions and informal exchange of ideas. The workshop targets equally students entering the field and researchers with a few years of experience.

The Circuit QED Quantum Science group is a new experimental research group in the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), led by Associate Professor and ARC Future Fellow, Nathan Langford. A/Prof Langford has recently set up a new research direction for UTS in circuit quantum electrodynamics (circuit QED), establishing the brand new Millikelvin Quantum Science laboratory at UTS with state-of-the-art purpose-built facilities for experiments in circuit QED and microwave quantum optics.
