WHAT IS QUANTUM INFORMATION SCIENCE?Quantum science is the study of quantum mechanics and how to translateknowledge about quantum systems into powerful new technologies. At theUniversity of Sydney we have research programs that delve into both theunderstanding and application of quantum mechanics. We undertaketheoretical and experimental research, which allows our researchers toengineer and manipulate complex quantum systems and create innovativehardware and software solutions. We tackle big questions. How does complexbehaviour emerge from simple quantum systems? Can we control quantumsystems to make a quantum computer? How do you correct errors in complexquantum calculations?

The Quantum Theory Group explores a wide range of fundamental andapplied questions ranging from the foundations of quantum mechanicsto how to build practical quantum technology. What exotic properties ofquantum mechanics give quantum computers their power? How do wescaleup ‘quantum weirdness’ from the size of an atom to the size of amainframe? Can we debug quantum hardware and software, and reducequantum errors through coding and fault tolerance?Prof Stephen BartlettStephen Bartlett is exploring the foundations ofquantum mechanics, and then applies these ideas tothe study of quantum computers. He also enjoysworking with experimental teams to design betterquantum technologies.Dr Arne GrimsmoDr Arne Grimsmo is interested in the theory of solidstate quantum devices, designing quantum that can be used for information processing, andfiguring out ways to manipulate quantuminformation in a noisy environment.arne.grimsmo@sydney.edu.auDr Isaac KimIsaac Kim has a broad interest in quantum informationand quantum computing, ranging from topologicalordered systems and holography to quantum errorcorrection and quantum algorithms. He is especiallyinterested in developing noise-robust quantumalgorithms that can speed up material simulationusing realistic nearterm quantum computers.isaac.kim@sydney.edu.au7
HOW CAN I GET INVOLVED IN QUANTUMRESEARCH AT USYD?There are many opportunities during your time at the University of Sydney tojoin the research teams that are driving discovery and innovation in quantumscience. Everyone within a Physics Major can choose to complete a quantumresearch project in their 4th year. If you are a Dalyell Scholar or in the SpecialStudies Program you also have opportunities earlier in your degree.
