The Centre for
Quantum Computation and Communication
Technology was
established as an Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of
Excellence
in 2011, and renewed for a further 7 years in 2018. (It succeeds earlier ARC -funded Centres going back to 2000.)
It now research programs at eight Australian Universities: UNSW, Melbourne, ANU,
Griffith, Queensland, RMIT, and UTS. I am Node Manager of the Griffith effort. This comprises three Programs:
Griffith University hosts two programs, a Quantum Information Theory Program
headed by me,
and an experimental Optical
Quantum Information
Program headed by Prof. Geoff Pryde, and an experimental
Integrated Quantum Photonics
Program headed by Assoc. Prof. Mirko Lobino.
My Theory Program supports wide-ranging
theoretical research in
quantum information, underpinning both quantum communication and
quantum computation, and uncovering new implications and applications
of the quantum information perspective. For more
information see the Program
Page
on
the CQC2T website.
New PhD
students interested in studying in my group are welcome. Scholarships
are available for domestic and overseas students with 1st Class Honours
or equivalent (typically >80% in the 4th or higher year of
tertiary
studies, including a research project equivalent to at least one
semester of full time study). In addition, all
domestic students in CQD obtaining an Australian government award will be given a top-up for 3 years. Please contact me if you are
interested. For details about how to apply please see www.griffith.edu.au/centre-quantum-dynamics/research-degrees
