Synopsis
The Quantum Control Laboratory is a research group focused on the control and manipulation quantum coherent systems. Part of this research activity requires the development of new quantum control techniques via theoretical exploration. Our aim is to produce techniques which provide allow for the efficient measurement and control of quantum systems, enabling them to be deployed in useful applications. Area of investigation include open and closed-loop control, application of machine learning to quantum information systems, and the development of routines to characterize realistic quantum hardware. Students engaged in this project work closely with the trapped-ion experimental team, seeing concepts implemented in our own state-of-the-art quantum computing hardware.
