Quantum Computing Applications & Theory Group
We are a theoretical quantum computing research group at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia.
Led by Dr. Riddhi Gupta and Associate Professor Sally Shrapnel, our work explores the utility of quantum computing in the nascent fault-tolerant regime.
These potential applications include quantum simulations for molecular interactions in chemistry, preparing resource states for fault-tolerant quantum computing, and quantum machine learning.
We also recognise that mitigating the impact of noise on quantum computers remains a persistent challenge.
Our team works closely with industry partners to develop application-specific protocols in quantum noise characterization and control, quantum error mitigation and quantum error correction to address this challenge.
We aim to bridge the gap between fundamental quantum theory and practical quantum technologies.
Whether you are a student, researcher, or collaborator, we invite you to explore our work, meet our team or talk to us.
We are currently hiring at all levels: students (Honours, Masters, Ph.D) and postdoctoral candidates.
Our work is partly supported by Queensland Digital Health Center, the Queensland Decarbonization Alliance and NCMAS.
