Jarryd Pla is a quantum engineer at the University of New South Wales, Sydney. He works on problems related to quantum information processing and more broadly to quantum technologies. Pla was instrumental in demonstrating the first quantum bits made from the electron and nucleus of a single impurity atom inside a silicon chip. His current research interests span spin-based quantum computation, superconducting quantum circuits, and hybrid quantum technologies. He is focused on developing new quantum technologies to aid the scaling of quantum computers and to advance capabilities in spectroscopy and sensing.
