Solid-State Quantum Systems Group @ NUS
We are an interdisciplinary experimental research team at the National University of Singapore, focused on quantum computing using semiconductor technologies. We develop semiconductor-based qubits using materials like bilayer graphene, silicon, and planar germanium. Our goal is to push beyond Moore's Law and explore new frontiers in quantum computation.
Quantum computing is inherently multidisciplinary, spanning fundamental physics, materials science, and quantum information, all the way to systems engineering and computer architecture. We focus on basic materials science, solid-state and quantum information physics, electrical engineering, and computer architectures necessary for building large-scale quantum computers.
We are committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and collaborative environment where everyone can thrive. Whether you're an experienced researcher or new to quantum computing, you'll find a supportive and dynamic environment here.
Join SQS in revolutionizing quantum computing and help shape the future of technology!
PhD scholarships:
Opportunities for PhD positions in our group may come up around November 2025. At the moment, all directly funded positions in the group are filled. If you are interested in joining us, you may consider applying through general PhD admission to the NUS Department of Physics. Admission decisions are made at the department level, and scholarships are awarded independently of individual supervisors:

We have implemented high-fidelity two-qubit logic gates in silicon quantum dots with 99% fidelity (Nature 526 (7573), 410-414; Nature 569, 532–536; Nat. Phys. (2024)) and achieved a single-qubit gate fidelity of 99.96% (Nature Electronics 2, 151–158 (2019)). We focus on the detailed characterization of qubits to understand their behavior under different conditions, particularly the impact of non-local and non-Markovian noise. By characterizing noise in multi-qubit systems, we aim to distinguish between classical and quantum noise effects. We seek to determine if spatially correlated noise, rather than localized noise, limits the scalability of semiconductor qubits. Additionally, understanding correlated noise allows us to use its properties to entangle multiple qubits.
We pioneered spin qubit readout for bilayer graphene quantum dots, achieving a high signal-to-noise ratio of ~7 (PRX Quantum 3 (2), 020343), and achieved spin and valley readout using the Pauli blockade mechanism (Nature Physics 20 (3), 428-434). Additionally, fast charge readout is enabled by coupling quantum dots to high-impedance NbTiN resonators (Nano Lett 24, 7508–7514). We will investigate circuit QED for fast quantum non-demolition readout, probing noise, and achieving long-range, high-fidelity coupling between semiconductor spin qubits, which is important for a fully scalable, error-corrected quantum architecture.
