Noah recently earned his BS in physics and mathematics at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. While there he conducted computational research on spin-based silicon quantum computing architectures under Dr. Mark Eriksson. In addition, he was invited to attend an undergraduate school on quantum information processing at the Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo.
For his Fulbright Postgraduate Scholarship, Noah will work on a silicon-based quantum computing research project at the University of New South Wales (Sydney) in the laboratory of Professor Andrea Morello, the manager of the Quantum Spin Control program in the Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology (CQC2T). Quantum Computation is a newly theorized computation scheme that utilizes the laws of quantum physics to store and manipulate information in a different way than classical computers. Noah’s research will focus on developing and testing a novel architecture for electrically tuneable readout of quantum information from silicon-based spin quantum bits, a specific hardware implementation of a quantum bit, which is the basic building block of a quantum computer. This research will give Noah the opportunity to contribute vitally to the scaling up of a silicon-based quantum computer and the unique chance to act as ambassador between the silicon quantum computing communities in the U.S. and Australia.
