Student research opportunities
Feedback control of quantum systems
Project Code: CECS_162
This project is available at the following levels:
Engn4200, Engn R&D, Honours, Summer Scholar, Masters, PhD
Keywords:
control, quantum
Supervisor:
Professor Matt JamesOutline:
Recent rapid developments in quantum technology, both in theory and experiment, are providing exciting new challenges and opportunities for engineers, physicists and mathematicians. Quantum technologies are those which exploit the laws of quantum physics. For example, quantum information systems exploit quantum entanglement, while atom lasers are based on the wave properties of matter. Feedback control forms one of the key toolsets that will be required in the development of quantum technology.
Goals of this project
Quantum control research at ANU has two broad interlinked objectives: (i) development of the fundamental theory concerning the analysis and design of quantum feedback systems, and (ii) application of quantum control theory to current quantum technology research projects. Prospective students should contact me for further information and assistance in choosing a specific project topic.
