Biography

John Bartholomew is an Associate Professor at the University of Sydney, focusing on the development of technologies to create a quantum internet. His current research involves using crystals containing the rare-earth element erbium to integrate optical photons, microwave photons, and solid-state spins into a single quantum system. He received his PhD in physics from the Australian National University in 2014 and subsequently worked with the Solid State Spectroscopy Group under Associate Professor Matthew Sellars. After his studies, John was involved in research at Chimie Paristech, France, exploring the quantum optical properties of rare-earth ions in nanoparticles. He was later awarded a fellowship to join the Nanoscale Quantum Optics Group at the California Institute of Technology. Currently, as the Director of the Quantum Integration Laboratory at the Sydney Nanoscience Hub, he supervises projects in quantum networking and hardware development. He teaches advanced courses in quantum nanoscience and coordinates experimental physics projects, bridging theoretical knowledge with innovative applications in quantum technologies.
