PhD Scholarship: Practical self-correcting quantum memories | University of Sydney, Australia in partnership with Sygaldry Application deadline: Wednesday, October 7, 2026Employer web page: Sydney Quantum Academy Job type: PhDTags: PhDscholarshipquantum computing** Project: Practical self-correcting quantum memories This project aims to construct practical `self-correcting quantum memories’ (SCQM), which are designed to serve as a type of hard drive for quantum computers. An ideal quantum hard drive is a system into which a quantum state can be encoded, left for an arbitrarily long time without any active control, and then efficiently decoded to recover the initial state. A SCQM aims to approach this ideal behaviour. It should be a physically reasonable system that can reliably store encoded quantum information for a time that grows with the system size, while being weakly coupled to a thermal bath. The theoretical study of SCQM has been a constant source of surprise and challenge for over two decades, and recently there has been a breakthrough in the mathematical foundations of SCQMs. It’s now the perfect time to translate these theoretical ideas into practice. This project will be conducted in partnership with Sygaldry, a US-based company developing quantum-accelerated AI servers. This project would suit This project is ideal for candidates with a strong background and interest in theoretical quantum physics and mathematics. Project supervisor Prof Stephen Bartlett, Dr Dominic Williamson Details of the Scholarship The scholarship is for up to 4 years of full time study and includes: • Student stipend: A$42,754 per annum (2026 rate, indexed annually) • Substantive engagement with our industry partners as a core component of the PhD • Access to an industry-ready skills training program • Entry to the SQA PhD Experience Program events and workshops. Eligibility Requirements Scholarships are open to domestic and international applicants. • Domestic

PhD Scholarship: Integrating nuclear spins with quantum dots in silicon | UNSW Sydney, Australia in partnership with Diraq Application deadline: Wednesday, October 7, 2026Employer web page: Sydney Quantum Academy Job type: PhDTags: PhDscholarshipsilicon quantum dotsThe project seeks to develop a quantum computer device where the nuclear spin of a donor atom in silicon is integrated with a gate-defined quantum dot. This type of device will represent the unit cell of a scalable quantum processor, which combines the exceptional coherence and gate fidelity of nuclear spins with the addressability and manufacturability of semiconductor quantum dots. The ultimate objective is to build a fault-tolerant, error-corrected silicon quantum computer with local logical encoding in the nuclear spin of donor atoms, and electrons in quantum dots providing medium-range interactions between logical qubits. The project will be conducted in partnership with Diraq Pty. Ltd., which is developing scalable quantum dot devices in silicon. The project is ideal for candidates with a strong background and interest in quantum engineering and quantum physics. Project supervisor Dr Danielle Holmes, Scientia Professor Andrea Morello | Associate Professor Henry Yang, Diraq (Partner Investigator) Details of the Scholarship The scholarship is for up to 4 years of full-time study and includes: • Student stipend: A$42,754 per annum (2026 rate, indexed annually) • Substantive engagement with our industry partners as a core component of the PhD • Access to an industry-ready skills training program • Entry to the SQA PhD Experience Program events and workshops Eligibility Requirements Scholarships are open to domestic and international applicants. • Domestic students include Australian citizens, permanent residents, New Zealand citizens, or persons entitled to remain in Australia without limitation. • International students must hold, or be able to obtain, a valid visa for the duration
