Biography
Matt Broome is an experimental physicist specialising in quantum device fabrication, design and implementation. He completed his PhD in quantum photonics and quantum computation at the University of Queensland under the supervision of Prof Andrew White, his most notable contributions during this time were on multi-photon quantum walks, leading to the first implementation of a BosonSampling quantum computer. In 2013 he joined the team of Prof Michelle Simmons to design and implement their first two-qubit device in Silicon. In 2016 he was awarded a Marie Curie Fellowship and appointed Assistant Professor at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, a joint teaching and research position. During this time Matt investigated the scalability of solid-state single-photon sources based on GaAs:InP heterostructures, and their compatibility with ultrafast multiplexing.
In 2018 Matt returned to his home country and launched the Exotic Quantum Devices Laboratory at the University of Warwick, UK, as Associate Professor in Physics. At Warwick he began research into novel forms of single-photon emitters in 2D materials, with a particular focus on deterministic fabrication in twisted bi-layer heterostructures. Upon returning to Australia in 2022, Matt took up a post in the semiconductor industry before joining CSIRO in 2024.
