PhD in Quantum Error Correction

PhD Studentship:/nRobust quantum control for quantum error correction/nThe development of fault-tolerant quantum computing is one of the most coveted aims of quantum technology. It will bring about a revolution that will tackle global societal challenges. Fault-tolerance is defined as the scenario when quantum error correction codes function efficiently to detect and correct a significant number of errors. This project will focus on developing the quantum control building blocks for implementing low-overhead quantum error correction on trapped ions-based quantum processors./nQuantum control techniques can open bottlenecks to scalability by reducing the number of operations, enhancing the robustness of gates, and mitigating the effects of noise. The research will upon strengths in the quantum control modelling at the University of Surrey (UoS) and the expertise in experimental quantum computing at the National quantum computing centre (NQCC). The research will involve periods of theoretical development at the UoS and experimental development at the NQCC./nSupervisors:/nDr Eran Ginossar and Alexander Owens
