Stephen Bartlett

Professor Stephen Bartlett is a theoretical quantum physicist and Professor in the School of Physics at The University of Sydney. He leads research in quantum information theory, quantum computing, and designer quantum materials. His work spans fundamental and applied aspects, including quantum error correction and silicon-based qubit systems. As Director of Sydney Nano, he drives interdisciplinary nanotechnology initiatives. Key roles include Chief Investigator at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems and editorial leadership at PRX Quantum.

His research focuses on advancing quantum technologies through theoretical frameworks and experimental collaborations. Notable contributions include developing error-mitigation strategies, optimizing qubit operations, and exploring topological quantum computing. Awards include Fellowships from the Australian Institute of Physics and the Royal Society of New South Wales.

Recent work emphasizes high-fidelity spin qubits, quantum gate error assessment, and leveraging biased noise for robust quantum computation. Grants include partnerships with Japanese industry and UK Research and Innovation for silicon-based quantum technologies.

Labs and teams: Sydney Nano Institute, ARC Centre of Excellence EQUS. Collaborations involve global institutions like UNSW, Purdue University, and the University of New Brunswick. Ongoing projects target scalable quantum systems and fault-tolerant architectures.
