Research Interests

	Quantum computing offers the possibility of exponential speed-up of important algorithms, such as decryption and database search. The Australian Centre for Quantum Computer Technology is a multi-disciplinary grouping of engineers, physicists and information theorists aimed at developing a prototype solid-state quantum computer in silicon - in which the quantum bits (or qubits) are single phosphorus atoms.
	Andrew Dzurak manages the Centre's program in the development of integrated devices for the control and read-out of phosphorus qubits in silicon. These devices are fabricated using advanced capabilities at UNSW's Semiconductor Nanofabrication Facility.
