Biography
Gerard J. Milburn serves as Member of the Scientific Advisory Board for D-wave Systems Inc. Dr. Milburn obtained a Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics from the University of Waikato in 1982 for work on squeezed states of light and quantum nondemolition measurements. He was subsequently appointed to a Royal Society Fellowship at Imperial college London. In 1985 he accepted a position as lecturer at The Australian National University and in 1988 took up an appointment as Reader in Theoretical Physics at The University of Queensland. In 1994 he became Professor in Physics and, in 1996, Head of Department of Physics at The University of Queensland. In 2000 he became Deputy Director of the Australian Centre for Quantum Computer Technology. He is currently an Australian Federation Fellow at The University of Queensland. In 2001 he was awarded the Moyal Medal for Physics, and in 2003 the Boas medal of the Australian Institute of Physics. Gerard Milburn is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science. He has worked in the fields of quantum optics, quantum stochastic processes, atom optics, quantum chaos and most recently in quantum information and quantum computation.
