Scholarship Description:
The
Graduate Student will pursue research on adiabatic quantum
computation/quantum annealing by performing numerical and analytical
tests of associated concepts, as well collecting data using the D-Wave
Systems Josephson junction device-based platform. The starting point
will be to perform test experiments on the USC/Lockheed Martin D-Wave
machine in Los Angeles, interrogating the accessible variables to
determine the nature of the statistical sampling for the model problems
of interacting spins which the processors directly implement. After
successful completion of this phase of the project, the student will
shift to implementing the solution of a problem of current interest in
physics or biomedicine on a machine with a Josephson junction array
architecture. The work will be carried out in collaboration with the
group of Prof Aeppli and his broader network of experimental and
theoretical colleagues, and could also entail experiments on other
quantum systems in LCN laboratories and external user facilities.Number of Awards: Not known
Duration of Awards: PhD Studentship is offered for 3 years.
What does it cover? £15,590 per annum is offered as a stipend.
