About

Cameron Calcluth – PhD Student in Quantum Computing

I am a PhD student researching quantum advantage, which refers to the ability of quantum systems to solve certain problems exponentially faster than classical computers. My work in this field has led to the publication of four research papers, three of which I authored as the lead researcher. I am also actively involved in several ongoing projects investigating the boundaries of what is possible with quantum computing.

Research Experience

PhD Candidate | Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden (expected 2025) 

Supervisors: Giulia Ferrini (Chalmers University of Technology), Alessandro Ferraro (University of Milan) 

Examiner: Göran Johansson (Chalmers University of Technology) 

Thesis: From simulatability to quantum advantage with continuous variable quantum computers. 

Visiting Fellow of the Department | Harvard University (2023) 

I was awarded funding to visit Harvard University for three months to visit Professor Arthur Jaffe’s group and collaborate with Xun Gao. The project is ongoing and involves exploring the ability of a type of continuous variable circuits to perform certain calculations faster than an equivalent qubit-based circuit.  

Theoretical Physics BSc, MPhys (International) | First Class | University of Leeds (2019) 

Supervisors: Jacob Sherson (Aarhus, Bachelor Thesis), Zlatko Papić (Leeds, Master Thesis) 

Bachelor Thesis: Gamification of NP-hard spin glass problems and comparison with quantum annealing computers. 

Master Thesis: Single to many-body quantum scars.
