Description

Giving quantum systems a voice: quantum optoacoustics on a nanoscale. This project aims to build a complete and scalable platform for the new paradigm of quantum acoustics, ready for immediate deployment as a critical component of a hybrid quantum computing architecture. Using a combination of theoretical techniques at the boundary of quantum physics, nanoscale electromagnetism, classical theory of elasticity, and advanced numerical methods, I will design a complete suite of quantum acoustic devices and protocols to enable interfacing between state-of-the-art quantum devices. This project will strengthen the leading position of Australian researchers in the race towards quantum technologies by offering practical solutions to a critical bottleneck in designing large-scale quantum technologies..
