Postdoctoral Researcher

I study how quantum computers lose information, and how to protect it.

Quantum error correction at the Centre for Quantum Software and Information (QSI), University of Technology Sydney — in the group of A/Prof. Simon Devitt.

My work follows a single thread: noise. During my PhD at UNSW I asked how real devices lose their quantum information — how charge noise dephases hole spin qubits, and how spin-3/2 holes respond nonlinearly when driven out of equilibrium. Now I work a level up, on the error-correction and architecture layer that turns noisy physical qubits into logical ones you can actually compute with.

What I work on

From the physics of a single qubit to the architecture of a fault-tolerant machine.

Quantum error correction

Codes, decoders and compilation strategies that keep logical information alive long enough to be useful.

Spin-qubit decoherence

1/f charge noise and its anisotropic signature in the dephasing time of planar Ge hole spin qubits.

Nonlinear hole transport

Nonlinear and nonequilibrium response of spin-3/2 heavy holes in low-dimensional semiconductors.
