Dear friends and colleagues,



We are currently inviting applications for two faculty positions in
quantum science, one experimentalist and one theorist, in the School
of Physics at the University of Sydney.  Please pass on this
information to any interested candidates, and they can contact me
directly with any queries.



Lecturer in Theoretical Quantum Science



Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Experimental Quantum Science



Closing date: 11:30pm, 20 September 2018



About the opportunity
Experimentalist:  We invite applications for a continuing faculty
position within the School of Physics in experimental quantum science.
The successful applicant will establish a new research program in
experimental quantum science on topics that align with and complement
the research directions currently pursued by the Quantum Science
research group at Sydney. In addition, the successful applicant will
conduct teaching activities and supervise postgraduate research
students in physics. Applications for initial appointment at either
Lecturer or Senior Lecturer will be considered.

Theorist:  We invite applications for a continuing faculty position
within the School of Physics in theoretical quantum science. The
successful applicant will establish a new research program in
theoretical quantum science on topics that align with and complement
the research directions currently pursued by the Quantum Science
research group at Sydney. In addition, the successful applicant will
conduct teaching activities and supervise postgraduate research
students in physics.

About Quantum Science at the University of Sydney
Our quantum science research group is focussed on addressing the most
challenging problems in quantum science, and on leveraging these
insights to advance the development of quantum technologies.  We have
world-leading expertise in the areas of quantum computing, quantum
control, and the quantum-classical interface.  Our activities span
theory and experiment, range from fundamental quantum information
science through technology development, and incorporate atomic,
optical and condensed matter systems.

Research in quantum science forms a core focus of the University of
Sydney Nano Institute, a university-wide initiative to discover and
harness new science at the nanoscale. Along with our central focus on
world-class academic research, we have a complementary interest in
engaging with key industrial partners and start-up companies. Our
researchers are co-located with Microsoft Quantum Sydney, a
partnership between the University and Microsoft Quantum Research to
pursue quantum and cryogenic computing. In addition, Q-CTRL, a
quantum-technology spinoff company funded by venture capital, has
established a resident base of expertise in quantum control
engineering and professional software development.

Our researchers in quantum science are active in the ARC Centre of
Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems,, and participate in several
international research programs in Quantum Information Science
sponsored by the US Army Research Office, IARPA, and other domestic
and international activities.


Facilities
The University of Sydney has established extensive infrastructure to
support experimental research in quantum science. The Sydney
Nanoscience Hub is a purpose-built building, with laboratories
exhibiting state-of-the-art specifications for temperature stability,
vibration, and electromagnetic interference mitigation. The building
provides ample overhead for clean power, cooling water, and service
reticulation.

The Research and Prototyping Foundry (RPF), an ISO 5 cleanroom housed
in the Nanoscience Hub, offers electron beam lithography (Elionix
F-125) as well as optical lithography (ASML I-line stepper) and mask
production capabilities (Heidelberg). These tools are complemented by
facilities for the deposition of dielectric materials and metals using
ALD and UHV ebeam / sputtering deposition systems. Metrology tools
include aberration-corrected TEM (FEI), FIB-SEM, AFM, and elipsometry.
Co-located with the RPF is a cleanroom space dedicated to the research
activities of Microsoft’s quantum and cryogenic computing effort.
Facilities in the Microsoft space include a series of foundry-scale
8-inch robotic cluster tools for the deposition and etch of a vast
array of dielectrics and metals to support the scale-up of quantum
computing devices. Complementing these platforms are a suite of
metrology and packaging tools that establish a complete end-to-end
fabrication process line for advance quantum circuits. These
facilities are operated by engineers that bring decades of industry
know-how to the solve problems at the cutting edge of nanofabrication.

Across the quantum science research groups, infrastructure housed in
these facilities include a suite of cryostats (7 dilution
refrigerators with base temperature below 10 mK), extensive electrical
test and measurement equipment that spans numerous microwave and radio
frequencies sources, network, spectrum, and parameter analyzers,
waveform generators, and cryogenic electronics. In the Quantum Control
Laboratory, which performs experiments in quantum control, quantum
simulation, and quantum computation using trapped atomic ions, the
team currently runs several ion traps, as well as shared
infrastructure for ultra-high-stability time and frequency references
distributed throughout the Sydney Nanoscience Hub.
