Venture into Quantum

Apply by 8 May. Visit: https://bit.ly/SQAPhDR7-partners 

Want to study cutting-edge quantum technology? Applications are now open for Sydney Quantum Academy PhD Scholarships. Undertake research at Sydney’s top universities alongside world-leading quantum experts, and join the SQA PhD Experience Program — a growing community of quantum PhD students from across Sydney.

I've been drawn to the field of quantum because 

0:05

we are in the midst of the  second quantum revolution.

0:08

This time around it's all about quantum information and it's super thrilling to be part of it.

0:15

UTS has a leading research group in software and applications called the Center for Quantum  

0:20

Software and Information. It is now pushing towards  hardware implementations as well.

0:25

Most PhD students at UTS focus on quantum information theory, but I am part of the new hardware team and

0:32

we focus on digital quantum simulations using superconducting  circuits.

0:36

Quantum simulation is one of the main applications of quantum computing. It will help in the development of new pharmaceuticals,

0:43

new renewable energy sources, new materials... many other things that we cannot even think of.

0:50

My research focuses on solving problems  which are currently bottlenecks for  

0:55

larger-scale digital quantum simulations, and the results will feed into industry efforts.

1:00

What is great about being part of the sydney quantum community is that we have one of the densest  

1:06

populations of researchers in a broad spectrum of topics and we can get to them just by hopping on the bus.

1:13

The things that I value most about  the SQA scholarship is the opportunity to talk  

1:18

and learn from top researchers across the four universities. The SQA scholarship is enticing for  

1:25

a lot of different students including physicists, mathematicians, engineers, computer scientists.

 

Students have the unique opportunity to undertake coursework across SQA’s four partner universities — the University of Technology Sydney, UNSW Sydney, Macquarie University, and the University of Sydney. SQA’s program provides specialised training, seminars, workshops and networking opportunities to gain a competitive edge in quantum’s future workforce.
