Cryogenic control electronics, silicon-spin readout, and quantum-engineering systems integration at the University of Sydney, led by David Reilly. The group pioneered cryo-CMOS controllers — the "Gooseberry" chip work co-authored with Microsoft Station Q Sydney — and the broader spin-readout and quantum-classical interface stack that any scalable solid-state qubit platform needs. The Sydney programme is complementary to UNSW's Simmons-driven donor-in-silicon direction: Reilly focuses on the control and readout layer rather than the qubit-device layer itself.

Current focus: Solid-state qubits and cryogenic control electronics

Milestones

  1. 2021 "Gooseberry" cryo-CMOS controller chip operating at sub-100 mK to drive silicon qubits, co-authored with Microsoft (Pauka et al., Nature Electronics) paper
  2. 2017 Microsoft Station Q Sydney established at the University of Sydney to develop cryogenic control electronics for topological and spin qubits press
  3. 2011 ARC Centre of Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems (EQUS) established press
