Quantum Control Laboratory USYD
The Quantum Control Laboratory was formed in 2010 with the appointment of EQUS CI Mike Biercuk to a continuing faculty position at the University of Sydney. Professor Biercuk established a world-leading research effort on quantum control and quantum simulation with trapped ions, driving major efforts towards EQUS’ research programs.
The research undertaken in the Quantum Control Laboratory is focused on the development of practically useful techniques in quantum control likely to underpin the functionality of an entire generation of engineered quantum systems. Our research combines theory and experiment and leverages major international funding streams, and international collaborations facilitated via the group’s role within EQUS.
The Quantum Control Laboratory occupies one of the most precisely engineered research laboratories in the world. These facilities have been designed specifically to support quantum science and precision metrology research. Key features include temperature stability within 0.1 C, active and passive electromagnetic shielding, and vibration-isolation of the laboratory slab.
Research areas include:
- Quantum Computing with Trapped Ions
- Quantum Simulation for Chemistry & Materials
- Quantum Simulation of Chemical Dynamics
- Quantum Control Engineering
- Hardware Systems for Quantum Technology & Precision Metrology
“EQUS formed a focal point for international attention on our efforts. It drew high-quality visiting students from the US, Germany and China, helped support applications for international funding, and formed a basis for our international media profile.”
– EQUS CI Prof Mike Biercuk
