Stuart Nicholls is a quantum physicist from Adelaide. He completed an undergraduate degree at Yale University in the US, in the intensive track of the physics major, with a certificate of advanced language study in Chinese. He is currently pursuing research in quantum computing at the University of Sydney. Outside of research Stuart enjoys hiking, tennis, and poetry. With his World Universities Ramsay Postgraduate Scholarship, Stuart will pursue a Master of Advanced Study in Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge. In this course he will study subjects such as gravitation and relativity, particle physics, quantum computing and quantum information. In the future he would like to pursue PhD studies in quantum computing and then work in research in the quantum computing field; working on how to build quantum computers and how to better understand the features of quantum mechanics that will make it possible to apply them to future technologies.
