Andrea Morello is an electrical engineer and quantum physicist, and Scientia Professor of Quantum Engineering at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney, where he is also Deputy Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology (CQC2T). He obtained an M.Eng. in electronics engineering at the Politecnico di Torino (1998) and a PhD in experimental physics at the Kamerlingh Onnes Laboratory in Leiden (2004), followed by a postdoc at the University of British Columbia. He joined UNSW in 2006. Morello’s group achieved the world’s first single-shot readout of an electron spin in silicon (Nature, 2010) and the first single-atom electron spin qubit in silicon (Nature, 2012), and his single-atom qubits hold records for coherence time and Bell’s-inequality violation in the solid state. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and of the Royal Society of New South Wales, and received the 2017 Landauer and Bennett Award for Quantum Computing. He is also active in public science outreach and education.
