Work alongside leading researchers (A/Prof Jarryd Pla and Dr Tim Botzem) and get hands-on experience inside one of Australia’s most exciting quantum startups.

This project will advance CMOS-compatible quantum hardware and contribute to the development of fault-tolerant quantum computing systems by tackling challenges in the design, fabrication, and integration of microwave-frequency amplifiers operating at the quantum noise limit.

This project would suit a motivated electrical engineering, quantum engineering or physics student with strengths in quantum mechanics and microwave/RF design looking for a challenge in developing innovative and practical engineering solutions for cutting-edge quantum technologies.
