Bond is a PhD candidate in the group of Arghavan Safavi-Naini, specializing in the research of quantum many-body dynamics, quantum simulations and quantum sensing.

Why not both?

Quantum systems can outperform classical ones at tasks such as computation, simulation and sensing. Hybrid systems featuring both qubits and oscillators offer unique possibilities for realizing such quantum advantage. In his project “Why not both? Hybrid qubit-oscillator systems for quantum advantage”, Bond will determine regimes where a quantum advantage can be found and produce innovative experimental protocols for realizing it in hybrid qubit-oscillator systems.

Rubicon

The Rubicon grant provides young researchers with the opportunity to conduct their research at a foreign institute that provides the best environment for their work. With the grant, Bond will finance a two-year postdoctoral position at the University of Maryland. In the present round, NWO awarded the Rubicon grant to thirteen researchers, for a total grant amount of 3.1 million euros.
