Professor Gerard Milburn

Gerard works on the theory of quantum computer technologies including; superconducting, ion trap and quantum optical. His primary current research project is on designing quantum learning machines. This is an alternative to the standard qubit+gate+circuit model of quantum computing. Other interests include; quantum measurement and control, quantum fields in curved spacetime,  and quantum gravity.
