POSITION SUMMARY
The position is situated within the School of Physics, University of Melbourne.

The successful applicant is expected to conduct research to meet the milestones on the Project ID LP100100524 ‘Designing the Quantum-Classical Interface: Technologies for the Diamond Co-Processor’. This is an exciting research opportunity that will provide the successful candidate with the chance to be part of a high-profile international linkage with unique career advancement possibilities.

The applicant will work within the MARC research group at the University of Melbourne which incorporates the Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computing and the Diamond Research Group.

The Diamond Research Group's major projects include the use of diamond in quantum applications such as single photon sources for quantum key distribution, the use of optical centres in diamond as prototype quantum systems for ultrasensitive magnetometry and imaging in biological environments and for testing cavity QED devices. Fabrication efforts include diamond waveguides, cantilevers/MEMS, microwave striplines, and photonic crystals. The group also exploits classical properties of diamond in the construction of a high density electrode arrays for the next generation of retinal prostheses with Bionic Vision Australia.

Resources available to the project include Clean Room fabrication facilities, (Colutron ion implanter (0.01-15 keV), Orsay Physics Focussed Ion Beam (FIB) / SEM, Thermionics VE-180 e-beam/thermal evaporator, RTP-600xp Rapid Thermal Processor,Neutronix Quintel Q4000-6 UV Mask aligner, Leica Metallurgical Microscope, Wet chemistry area, Class 35 laminar flow cabinet, Spin Coater, JEOL atomic force microscope, Raman microscopes),1.5 and 5kW plasma  enhanced CVD diamond reactors, MeV ion implantation platform, and a suite of optical and electrical characterization platforms, including variable temperature PL, TEM, SEM, Hall effect and DLTS.
