Maverick was a PhD researcher at the University of Sydney working on ion trap experimental research. His current projects included single ion addressability, optimized pulse sequences for quantum gates, and mixed species operations. Maverick’s additional interests include quantum networking, photonics qubits and their relationship with optical qubits, and the scalability of quantum infrastructure. He was co-supervised by AI Ting Rei Tan and CIs John Bartholomew and Michael Biercuk.
